Goodman: Is it time for Alabama to break away from the SEC?

Speculation has emerged regarding the University of Alabama's potential departure from the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The discussion centers on whether Alabama might benefit from leaving the SEC to pursue more lucrative opportunities, such as forming a superconference with other high-profile programs. Factors influencing this consideration include the evolving landscape of college football, particularly in terms of media rights and revenue distribution. As the sport continues to change with the expansion of the College Football Playoff and the growing influence of television deals, Alabama's strategic decisions could significantly impact the future structure of college football conferences. The implications of such a move would not only affect Alabama but also the SEC and the broader college football ecosystem.
