Calipari will improve the entire SEC because while Conference USA schools didn't have the resources to compete with him, SEC schools do. Florida coach Billy Donovan, who won national titles in 2006 and 2007 despite swearing off one-and-done's after Donnell Harvey and Kwame Brown (actually a zero-and-done), will not sit idly by while an eastern division rival amasses a stockpile of the nation's best players. Neither will Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl. And each will have the full support of a wealthy athletic department behind him, which should make for a spectacular arms race.
Fueling the competition will be the league's new 15-year, $2 billion contract with ESPN. SEC basketball, which previously suffered from a series of horrendous TV deals, stands to gain the most from the added exposure. But that exposure is a double-edged sword. No one at LSU, Georgia or Alabama wants to see their team get destroyed on national television by Calipari's all-stars.

The SEC will never out recruit the ACC and Big East for the top guys. If anything the SEC might outperform the painful to watch Big 10.

More than likely the the conference will be up and down -- sort of like ACC football.
