SEC residents are losing economic ground to those in Big Ten region; what’s it mean for college football?

A recent study asserts rural areas, especially in the South, have not kept pace with the nation's economic recovery since the Great Recession of the late '00s. Combine that data with new research on the long-term neurological effects of football and what could be predicted for the college game?

Economics has always driven sports. See the history of boxing. Mostly, the SEC and the south, in general, will continue to prosper is because our athletes have more talent than anywhere else as a collective whole. I agree that the hungry player will always have the most motivation for success, but describing the south as "Tobacco Road" in comparison to the rest of the country, economically speaking, seems somewhat far fetched.

So he spends two paragraphs to prop up the guy who got in on Facebook and Spotify early as a genius in order to say that big cities in the north have more people making more money. Because of this they are smarter and don’t let their kids play football so the dumb, poor south whose kids can’t go to school without scholarships will continue to dominate football... brilliant!

How about just stick to the last statement..which is football is more important here and because of that we will continue to dominate. It is more important here because of winning and tradition and the big 10 losing and being consistently embarrassed is the reason kids up there are playing Lacrosse not because they live in richer area and because of this people are too smart to let their kids play.

Plus where there is more population there will naturally be more wealthy people. most of the time they don’t take cost of living into account in many of those “studies”

Just another yankee trying to make an excuse for why they suck at football

Today's word will be puerile. This article is a puerile piece of writing. Young man is carried away because he has gotten to be close to one of his heroes. He has decided that the hero's data can be applied to all facets of life. He isn't sure exactly how but this is his first attempt to force the data to fit his pet narrative.

There's a lot they don't take into account. Reality, with the NY Times, is one. I was amused at how they covered the struggles of a middle class family in this piece. (Middle class, as defined by 200-400K per year.)

Leaders all want to help “everyday Americans.” But do they really understand what it takes?
