The SEC dominates college football—but what happens when the very universities that fuel these powerhouse teams face massive budget cuts and anti-library crackdowns? In this episode, we explain how attacks on higher education, threats to academic freedom, and even the criminalization of librarians could spell disaster for the future of SEC football.
🔹 How do budget cuts to higher ed impact athletic programs?
🔹 Why do libraries and academic support matter for student-athletes?
🔹 Could scholarship reductions and weakened academic programs make it harder to recruit top talent?
🔹 What happens when states prioritize political culture wars over strong universities? Join us as we connect the dots between the war on education and the future of college sports.
If SEC fans want to keep their Saturday traditions alive, they might need to start defending libraries and higher ed.
