Yep. And what does work to turn mean? This one will take some time I think to get worked out as different refs will see it, and call it, differently.
The good news is that no one on this board, HR, or BWI will get worked up about it.
Using team placement weakens the argument. In the 80's the SEC had three eighth place team finishes, one ninth place finish, and one tenth place finish.

Hertz sold stock WHILE in bankruptcy. Bed Bath and Beyond sold stock while explicitly telling people it was likely worthless (and now it is).
Perhapa you under estimate the strength of the meme stock movement. And there is no greater meme to attach to than Elon Musk.

How long before Musk takes Twitter/X public again?
It has to bug him that Fidelity is valuing it at 30 cents on the dollar and he has no rebuttal.

The SEC was not a powerhouse. They had a single individual champ in 1953 (Dan McNair - Auburn) and another in 1985 (Chris Edmonds - Tennessee). The other 8 schools of the eighties had a goose egg.
