The Master Verbal Breakdown and the Hot 100 Breakdown revealed that the SEC has been dominating recruiting. But why? 12 out of 25 of the Top 25 in 2016 recruits are going into the SEC Conference along with 38% of the Hot 100. We've come up with the 6 reasons why recruits are choosing the SEC and their No.1.

1.  Iron Sharpens Iron: The SEC is the strongest softball conference in the country. If you play in the strongest conference, you train with and against the best in the country all season long increasing the likelihood of a post-season, WCWS run. Five out of the eight teams in the Women's College World Series in 2015 were from the SEC. [album albumId="450009"] 

2.  Funding & Football = More Resources: On May 29, 2015 the SEC announced that it came into quite a bit of money last year, pulling in $455.8 million in revenue and distributing $31.2 million dollars in revenue per school.

5.  SEC Network/TV Exposure: The schools have spent a combined $30 million on infrastructure and video production gear over the past year and will be responsible for more than half of the 1,000+ live events that the linear and digital network will program in Year 1. SEC softball games has the potential to reach 90+ million homes which means more exposure.
