Texas and Oklahoma moving to the SEC is only good for the SEC, not good for Texas and Oklahoma, not good for what's left of the Big 12, not good for college football as a whole

the old smaller regional conferences were better for the sport as a whole - better rivalries developed, better relationships between programs and fan bases
Same thing was true for Nebraska leaving for the B1G.  You gonna criticize that move equally?

I'd venture to guess that if TX/OU head to the PAC- they'd get a fat new TV deal.
It might bring the PAC up to where the B12 currently sits.  It wouldn't come anywhere close to rivaling the B1G or the SEC.  Nobody watches PAC football.  Nobody cares about it.

I just think geographically it would've made more sense to join the PAC and I think Texas/OU would've hit the ground running in the PAC with a much better chance of dominating that league than they will have of doing anything of significance in the SEC.

The B12 already is a more competitive football league and it gets better ratings and more money than the PAC.  If it were about "dominating the league" then OU is already doing that in the B12, no need to leave a league that's already better than the PAC.

I honestly don't mind either Penn State or Nebraska in the B1G. Penn State was in before I even started following college football so to me, it seems like they've "always" been in the conference. Nebraska is a team that always seemed like a cultural fit in a lot of ways, so even though they weren't historically members, they slotted in with little to no integration problems.

Maryland and Rutgers were added for TV eyeballs. It feels like they were just bolted onto the conference, not like they fit into it.

I wish the Big-12 had survived in general though (even if it means the B1G never got Nebraska). But Texas killed it. Nebraska/Mizzou/Colorado/A&M left to get away from them, and now the conference is so watered down that Texas and OU are leaving. I think the SEC pre-Mizzou/A&M would have been fine to leave as-is. The SEC should stop at the Louisiana border. Mizzou probably fits, but Texas/Oklahoma schools shouldn't be in the SEC.

ND should DIAF.

This is a terrible take.  Are you serious?  Do you believe everything you read on the internet?

I thought it had to be true if it's on the Interwebz.

Maybe it's a secret evil plan to take down the SEC. 

Since Texas wrecks every Conference that they touch, send their wrecking ball into the biggest, baddest conference around, and see what happens.

Many of us complain about a lack of big-time OOC games and that snapshot of 1989 alignment has those big-boy independents.  In addition to being eligible for a wide variety of bowls, those independents back then made it viable to have more big-time OOC games because they had an entire season's schedule to fill.  

You'd get a lot more home & homes when big-boy indepndents lack a relatively strong conference slate to fall back on.

Some programs have started scheduling 3 P5 OOC games a year in the future, big names too.

That's true as well.  Honestly college football was way more fun back then.
