Has Alabama made the SEC Boring?

Remember when the NFL implemented revenue sharing I believe. It was to improve the competition so the product would be better for the fans. It seems to have worked.

doesn't the SEC do that now?

Well yea I guess they sorta do. However, there is still a large disparity in operating budgets. And there isn't currently anything in place to control boosters or additional supplemental revenue. I was thinking more in terms of other ways to even it out though. The NFL has also continued to implement additional policies to even things out and put a better product on the field. On any given weekend any team can beat another one. I was primarily responding to the Hillary Clinton comment by Taog and trying to make the point that this isn't necessarily a pure capitalism vs. socialism thing. There was a lot of resistance to revenue sharing in NFL when it was first proposed.

I personally haven't thought too deeply on possible solutions and probably couldn't come up with any realistic ones if I did. Most of us on this board are pretty butt hurt right now with our team haha.

ETA: What I think this really comes down to is the players aren't allowed to share in the revenue ... so they go to the highest discrete (except in OMs case) bidder. If this were more capitalistic, the players would be receiving far more than they are. In the NFL, the QB makes more than the HC.
