OU is going to have to “get with the program” when it comes to NIL. Texas and Alabama are killing it there and I’m not sure OU can compete there, but they can make it interesting to recruits. Personally I’d like to see it go away, but that ain’t gonna happen.
I don't know, seems like it has made the sport more competitive than ever. Don't see one team dominating like in years past, it's definitely more like the NFL now.

And an OC, a strength and conditioning coach, bigger NIL budget, and recruiter who'll go after SEC type recruits vs just D1 recruits on both sides of the ball, especially on defense.

I'm interested to see how the bracket plays out when it's SEC teams vs the best of other conferences. The SEC recruits bigger, faster, stronger......the PAC apparently recruits big, fast, strong, intelligent. Just a theory.

Definitely need an OC, have a S&C coach, NIL budget is in the top 10?

Comparing injuries to other SEC teams, something needs to change imo. Couple of those were freak injuries though. NIL money is going to have to be way way up there for a kid to want to come play/or stay at an SEC team that fell short on its debut year.

Their strength and conditioning coach is Jerry Schmidt. With the exception of ‘18-‘21, when he was at A&M, he has been in charge of S&C at OU since he came aboard with Bob Stoops back in ‘99. This year has been an aberration when it comes to injuries, so I don’t think you can lay those problems at his feet.

I just think it's another aspect of what's been working for the Big 12, may not be enough for the SEC. Injuries can be directly related to S&C, I've seen that at the HS level many times. Once a S&C guru gets in there and has a legit S&C program, and the players 100% buy into it, the number of Injuries are greatly reduced and wins increase. It effects the mental part of the game too. Worst year for Injuries happens to be first year in the SEC? Coincidence maybe, maybe not. Worst OL play in recent program history, coincidence maybe or maybe not.

While obviously important, I'm looking at A&M & Ohio State this past weekend and giggling a bit..... don't they have like 20 million dollar rosters?
