When the commissioner of the @SEC recommends the book you wrote about the SEC...that's a pretty dang good day!

[Greg Sankey @GregSankey]

3 weeks from kickoff…Summer 📖 #19 is SEC FOOTBALL: HOW A REGIONAL LEAGUE BECAME A NATIONAL OBSESSION by @ColbNewton (well written/well researched) “I don’t think people really understand that recruiting never sleeps” “This year’s accomplishments are next year’s expectations”

[Colby Newton @ColbNewton]

Seems relevant considering all the chatter about a super conference

[Colby Newton @ColbNewton]

Or...32 teams breakaway. I did a deep dive on which 32 would make the most sense: https://t.co/CcW4T4rWHi

[Colby Newton @ColbNewton]

I speculated a couple months about which 32 schools would be most likely to form a true super conference

[Dan Wolken @DanWolken]

I don’t know how many times this needs to be said but apparently several more.

If a “super league” happens it won’t be a joining of the Big Ten and SEC. It will be the top schools in those leagues leaving and forming their own entity.

[Colby Newton @ColbNewton]

@ScottDochterman I love this. Would never happen but would be fun to see it come to life

[Colby Newton @ColbNewton]

Bevo was BBQ’d and served at a football banquet? My latest article for @gritcfb revisits some wild rivalry tales.

We, as a society, have taken two-factor authentication too far. Logging into my bank account and into my Chipotle account shouldn't be the same process.

[Josh Pate @JoshPateCFB]

Was 1995-2005 the peak of CFB?

- 11 different national champs
- Strong conferences & regionality
- Jackson, Musburger, Verne etc throwing heat
- Last pre-smart phone + social media era

[UCLA Women's Basketball @UCLAWBB]

History. Made. Here.

With 6️⃣ Bruins selected tonight, UCLA has set a new @WNBA record for most draft picks from a single institution!

[Stewart Mandel @slmandel]

I'm always tickled that people still bring up my book "Bowls, Polls and Tattered Souls" after all these years.

It recently came to my attention that, 19 years later, it's now available as an audiobook.

Never read it? Good news: You don't have to.

@conorsen Makes you think they will move quicker than tennis did to eliminate the human element of calling balls/strikes and let the computer do it.

[Colby Newton @ColbNewton]

How many of you remember or know the story of the last time the @CalMBBall went to the Sweet 16? They were led by a football player that ended up in the HOF!

Remember when a future member of the Pro Football HOF played in the Sweet 16? I wrote about @TonyGonzalez88 March Madness moment in my latest piece for @gritcfb

Congrats @MattBarrie on the new gig hosting SEC Nation! I wrote a book published by Bloomsbury about the SEC and how it became the obsession of CFB fans everywhere. It was endorsed by Sean McDonough, Stewart Mandel, and Verne Lundquist. I’d love to send you a free copy, DM me if you are interested!

[Andrew Marchand @AndrewMarchand]

🏈📺NEWS: Matt Barrie will succeed Laura Rutledge as the host of SEC Nation, The Athletic has learned.

Details ...

[Steven Willis @TheStevenWillis]

New theory the NCAA WANTS the SEC and Big 10 to breakaway

[Jon Wilner @wilnerhotline]

Have been screaming for years that college football needed to grab this window. P12 and B12 especially. Massive viewership opp but tricky logistics and HCs resist. But again, they are not inclined to do what's best for the game and should be removed from decision process.

[Colby Newton @ColbNewton]

CFB misses out again by not being forward thinking. Pretty sure @wilnerhotline has been advocating a conference (Pac 12 - hello) take advantage of this night for years
