There’s buzz out at the moment that the NCAA’s ultimate decision on whether Trinidad Chambliss will have eligibility to compete at the college level in 2026 could lead to the eventual fall of college sports’ governing body.

This is the somewhat wild theory poised in a recent USA Today column.

From USA Today:

“My god, a six-team SEC playoff with two first-round byes, and every game but the championship game played on campus. The final round played in Atlanta, the Mecca of bubba. It’s not that difficult to envision, or pull off. It doesn’t take anything but will and desire.”

Is the will among SEC members there?
