The Big Ten can expand, shuffle and realign all it wants while the SEC will keep winning titles (saturdaydownsouth.com)

I think this fellow uses the past as prologue, and that isn't always the case obviously.
he's right. and it's about demographics.

the population growth has shifted to the south and southwest and it has been trending that way for decades and it is just going to continue. the north and midwest are dying, the south and southwest are growing like a damn weed.

the best high school players already come from California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Carolinas, and on a per capita basis Louisiana, Virginia/DMV, and Mississippi produce an insane amount of talent- and as all those areas (minus California) continue to rapidly grow- the gap between the talent in the north/midwest and the south/southwest is only going to continue to grow.

The thing this article does that stands out for me is include women's basketball into a "big 4" of sports, lol.
Caitlin Clark won't be around after next season

When a new team comes into the conference, does the conference go back to the television companies and ask for more $ on their television contract, or how does this work?

And Baseball. 

Not sure which is more ridiculous, frankly. 

Men's Basketball is the only one other than Football that even sorta kinda matters, but not really.

Washington is a decent addition.
