## Resource

The college football world is roiling after SEC Media Days, as coaches blast the NCAA for letting other conferences pay players — even threatening to bolt the NCAA entirely. While Nick Saban boasts the SEC’s 12th-best team still beats the Big Ten’s 12th, the Big Ten’s recent national titles add fuel to the fire. Texas’s Steve Sarkisian blames schedule luck, ignoring how a loss to a losing Florida team derailed their playoff hopes. Meanwhile, Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman stands out by owning his team’s close losses — not blaming others — offering a stark contrast to the finger-pointing. In a sport obsessed with rankings and narratives, Freeman’s accountability may be the quiet revolution we need. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
