It did not level it, but it did increase the number of programs that could legitimately compete.The SEC was the only conference were there was alot of illicit spending going on. There were a program or two in other conferences, it paled to what the SEC schools were doing.The big beneficiary was the B1G. Once all their schools could start legally paying players, alot of those schools are really large with really deep pockets. It allowed the B1G schools to start offsetting the natural advantage that the SEC had in terms of location.</blockquote>
