I mean, I can't really be upset that Texas lost and the SEC has been vanquished. Again, another team that hurt the FBS conference landscape by abandoning the Big 12 for the SEC.
Yes, I am tired of this too. The Big 12 looks so strange geographically though I welcome the new members. I know the big money is with football but I love college hoops and like a lot of the new folks. But enough already.
The weird thing is that it feels like this is all leading toward 2-4 super-conferences of 16-20 teams that wind up with 2 divisions each, probably grouped geographically, and it will look suspiciously like the old Pac 12, Big 12, B1G, SEC, & ACC with a dash of the MWC & AAC, but some of the teams will wind up in Group of 5 status and be really butthurt.
I will always look back fondly on the Big Eight. It made sense geographically, the travel time was minimal and though I did tire of watching Kansas football teams get squished by Nebraska and Oklahoma I knew basketball was just around the corner.
Definitely. I fondly remember the Pac 10, but was glad to welcome Utah & Colorado when they came along & thought they were a good fit, culturally, with the rest of the Pac.
I have to say, I can’t imagine a football game that would interest me less than Ohio State versus Notre Dame. i’m going to be that person holding up a sign that says “I just hope they both lose“
Is Theatregirl a Wolverine? Anyway I am glad to see Texas out. I’m happy for whoever wins.That would totally be me if I were watching the Steelers-Ravens NFL playoff game tonight, LOL
