SEC needs to stop poking the sleeping beast

First, I'm on record saying this is a good hire for Arkansas and I understand none of you will understand this statement in a vacuum of excitement (or lack there of) in this hire.

But the B1G ... yes the nations richest conference has been asleep for the better part of 2 decades. Complacent, fat and happy. Facilities... who needs them. Coaches / Assistants salaries... we'll find someone.

This hire has had a ripple effect in the B1G. A conference that is two years away from signing the richest TV deal in the history of college athletics... hearing 50+ million per school. The advantage that the SEC has had for a couple decades... passion, most importantly $$... I get the feeling is about to evaporate.

I wish you the best of luck. But people are starting to get pissed of in B1G country. As the old sayin goes... never hit the guy with the bigger stick. Should be interesting to watch over the next decade.
