You could take out the SEC's top 3 academic institutions (Vanderbilt, Florida, Texas) and they'd probably still be slightly ahead overall (though it would be close then)
Which is not to denigrate the Big 12. A lot of those are schools which have a specific mission and fulfill it well. But it's clear that the Big 12 focuses on academic credentials less than any other major conference - which again is fine
But if you took away the SECs top 4 academic schools (Vanderbilt, Florida, Texas, Georgia) then the two conferences would be academically on par

A few points here; yes, he's dumb and puts too much weight in academics...but he's an academic and that's what they do
