## Resource

SEC Playoff expansion faces a standoff as Greg Sankey signals no imminent decision in Destin at the SEC Spring Meetings —could the SEC and Big Ten reshape college football’s future on their own terms? Chris Gordy and guest Spencer McLaughlin break down the power dynamics between the SEC and Big Ten, the rising debate over a potential 24-team playoff, and whether the storied SEC Championship Game’s fate hangs in the balance. Hot topics include heated NIL enforcement disputes, Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian’s public barbs at Ole Miss, and whether conference self-governance could spur a split from the NCAA. Plus, get insider outlooks on SEC baseball, with Vanderbilt and LSU’s shocking absences from the NCAA tournament and predictions for which of the 12 programs could make a run to Omaha. The landscape of SEC football and baseball is shifting—are we witnessing the dawn of a new college sports era?
