SEC, Big Ten meet, show united front against private equity

The SEC and Big Ten commissioners recently met to discuss important issues in college athletics, such as the potential impact of the NCAA’s House settlement and private equity groups’ involvement. They emphasized their commitment to addressing these challenges themselves and dismissed the notion that college football is broken. The meeting also focused on scheduling more games between the two conferences and the future of NCAA governance. Both leagues want to see how the 12-team College Football Playoff unfolds before making decisions about future changes. Overall, the meeting was productive and allowed for important conversations among athletic directors.
