As someone said, the SEC already had a huge advantage with locations and weather. Add in this oversigning...and we see why the SEC has been so dominant. The NCAA really needs to step in and do something about this unfair advantage.
BTW, here is an article in the Dispatch, which quotes Gerry DiNardo who coached in both the SEC and Big 10.

That's under the assumption that quality of player, amounts of players are equal. The south has more talent so it can support the larger amount of top 25 schools. Plus one article I read discussed the migration of people leaving Ohio may impact the quality of sports. Lower amounts of kids in Ohio means less homegrown talent for the Bucks. Look at the migration map below and click around Ohio. If this keeps up, tell me they'll have an advantage.cats gone wild;678206 wrote:And also I might add, OSU has more of an advantage then most teams in the country. They dont have many good teams up north to compete with in recruiting while the SEC has most of its teams in the top 25 in recruiting/they have to recruit vs. Miami, FSU, Clemson, Texas, Okla....etc. So, I think OSU is in a great position for recruiting. How many schools in the Big 10 are powerful recruiting schools?

Nobody wants to play in the boring north when all the competition,titles, best coaches, best weather is down south. Having top classes with 5*'s and 4*s with good coaching makes you a champion. Thats why the SEC has MULTIPLE teams with titles instead of one school with one title like the Big 10.
