Every year, Sports Illustrated College Football Mailbag writer, Stewart Mandel wades through the flood of emails proclaiming this conference is better than that conference. Even though he constantly tries to quell the issue, reminding us that the debate is almost completely subjective, Stewart still faces the annual barrage of conference-superiority-related questions this time of year.
To help channel fan’s obsession into positive ways, Stewart has setup a section within DonorsChoose.org for fans to put their money where their mouths are. For the unaware, DonorsChoose.org is a website where teachers and educators list school projects that could use additional funding. The site is setup so visitors can browse projects based on their location, academic fields, etc., and make donations online. In this case, the site allows projects to be grouped together and compared against other groups. So, if you go to this link, you’ll see how each conference is doing with respect to dollars donated, number of donations, and students impacted.
So, any SEC fans out there need to visit the site and make a donation to a project that will directly and immediately impact a school in your area. And, it’ll be one more way in which the SEC can demonstrate it’s superiority.
