I would agree with the following reasons listed above for the SEC’s strength
1) Money
2) Poor Academic Standards
3) Weak NCAA enforcement
If I was going to come up with an alternative reason along the lines of the things pointed out in Freakonomics I would think about what may motivate 18 and 19 year old males to make a decision. I would go with this.
Top 50 schools - Best looking women
Conference Average Rank
SEC 12.1
Pac 10 20.2
Acc 27.3
Big 12 30.3
Big 10 34.7
I searched “university with best looking women”. After my firewall blocked 14 different viruses I found a list that ranked the top 50 schools. The SEC had spots 4,5,6,8,9 and 10. Michigan ranked 32. Of course the validity of this data is suspect but it does seem to agree with commonly held perceptions.
I now need to go run a full virus sweep on my computer.
