Thanks, I meant to ask that

Would seem to be leading towards the SEC totally splitting off. My first reaction is that wouldn't be a great result for SEC fans or TV ratings.

For TV, wouldn't a separate SEC league lose ratings appeal outside the Southeast and Texas. Are OSU, Michigan, Clemson fans as likely to watch if the SEC is an entirely separate division/organization?

Would the SEC champion start calling themselves a National Champion?

Just speculation on my part. Could be way off.
