I personally believe that Miami, under Cristobal, will surpass the Gators, FSU, UCF, and USF in State in three years. If this happens, Miami has to be in the P2.

You have made good points on DFW also. What is the landscape going to be in that major metro if NIL explodes in DFW in years to come with the P2 on the horizon? DFW is a monetary footprint to be reckoned with? Today you are on point with TCU and SMU not being relevant but DFW footprint is relevant today and tomorrow. Will NIL money, in their back yard, fix the DFW status? Now, you could still be correct because DFW has had money in the past pre NIL and nothing might not change also.

My question, to you is, if Vanderbilt gets relegated out of the P2 20 team conference and TCU was promoted into it, is the SEC profoundly improved as a P2 organization? This is what I am thinking the ESPN New Yorkers will be discussing.


Very good post about Miami

If there are 2 football programs I believe that will be "back" that have been down for decades is

Miami and Tennessee

Miami is a massive market that is only growing with time and they will dominate the entire state of florida with The U brand

The only counter that could be made is FSU hiring deion Sanders


The state of alabama the next decade will be very interesting because if rumors are true, which i think they are... when harsin gets fired in november this year, Auburn will be hiring Hugh Freeze and paying players will be legal.


When Saban leaves.... Either Alabama will hire Dabo Swinney or possibly go get Lane Kiffin if he proves to be a great coach ( This year will prove it if he is in fact a good coach)

I really hope The leagues figure out possibly a salary cap on NIL deals per team
