Tommie Frazier is a living legend at Nebraska. As an All-American option quarterback, he eluded defenders with ease and marched his team to two consecutive national titles.

Despite his talents and achievements, he has been an afterthought in the College Football Hall of Fame voting—until now.

According to Matt Hayes of the Sporting News, Frazier is finally landing in the hall.

This induction has been a long time coming for Frazier. He was a finalist for every major quarterback award after the 1995 season and finished as a runner-up in the Heisman voting.

The SEC may dominate college football on the gridiron, but it is the Big Ten that is running things off the field. According to the St. Louis Dispatch (h/t CBS Sports), Big Ten schools received a payout of $25.7 million once the 2012 season came to an end.

Out of that cut, $7.6 million is coming from the Big Ten Network, according to the report. With this news, it's  no wonder why the SEC was so quick to start its own network, which will debut in August of 2014.

The Big Ten is distributing more revenue than any other conference in the country. All of you haters can take that. While you were quick to bad-mouth the Big Ten style of play and say it was a down year for the teams involved, this conference was laughing all the way to the bank.

In 2011, the revenue added up to $24.6 million per team, with a cool $8.1 million of that coming from the Big Ten Network. According to the report, athletic departments have benefited greatly from the network, due to a 57 percent increase in revenue from its first year on the air (2007) through the end of 2012.

By now, you've all heard how the major college football conferences fared in the NFL draft. The SEC, kings of the world, paced all leagues with 63 guys drafted, more than doubling the ACC's second-place 31. With just eight teams, the lowly Big East had 19 players selected, while the Big Ten, with 12 teams, only had 22 players picked, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

While that number doesn't look great for the Big Ten, the good news is this is not going to be the norm for a conference that is now on the downhill side of a major transition. The Big Ten took a step back, but is setting itself to regain that ground in the coming years.

The biggest names in the league—Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State—are all working with new coaches who are pushing to improve their talent levels, a good sign for the conference's NFL prospects as a whole. Teams like Indiana, Purdue, Minnesota and Illinois are also looking to upgrade with new hires.

Rutgers and Maryland join the conference in 2014, and while they are not going to be powerhouses, both teams will help put players into the league.

Urban Meyer is known as one of the best recruiters in college football, and Ohio State certainly has a national draw. For those reasons, it's safe to assume that Meyer and his staff will have their fair share of success in SEC country on the 2014 recruiting trail.

Some of you may be asking: What exactly is SEC country?

Here on the Signed, Sealed, Delivered blog, SEC country is either A) the region where most SEC schools or SEC fanbases are located or B) a region where the SEC seems to have a foothold in regard to recruiting.

As the most dominant conference in college football, the SEC tends to attract the best recruits, and it's also hard to deny the talent that comes out of known "SEC states" like Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.
