So much for being the Best College Football Conference by far in the land the SEC puts its Stamp on possibly the Best Conference in the Country if you want to major in Professional Sports. No the Bluedude isn't try to send the Wrong Message but the Only Message that the SEC is dominating when it is time to PLAY for PAY in Major Sports in the US.....GotCollegeStudent/AthletesgoingSEC?
The Kentucky Wildcats send their whole Roster it seems well the Rotation of 6 to the Top 46 Picks in the Draft. The Vandy Commodores get 3 in the Top 31. Billy Ball of Gainesville, Florida gets a Top 3, Geaux Tigers gets #45 a Big, and the Starksville, Mississippi Dawgs get #27. All those Players from one Conference and now you see why the National Champion in Men's Hoops was from the SEC....Squeeze the SEC Orange.
