Eh, both conferences made moves solely for money and sold out tradition along the way.

No difference between the two.

And every single person on this thread is a fan of a school that is complicit.

Acting otherwise is disingenuous, and/or stupid.

The breadth of the SEC, Columbia, SC and Austin, TX are 1100 miles apart.
It's twice that distance from Columbus, OH to Los Angeles.
What the B1G just did is a paradigm shift.  To deny that is to lie.

Still divided neatly along Civil War lines. The geography hasn't been broken yet. 

The Confederacy was just kinda tiny, compared to the Union. Probably why y'all lost.

The SEC is more responsible than any in what is happening.  They steamrolled an entire conference in their move to becoming a super conference.  Big Ten is simply following suit.

To say otherwise is to be living in denial.

Southern California tended toward secessionist.  Northern California did not.

Meh, the B1G realignment taking PSU in 1990 prompted the SEC's reactive movement to take Arkansas and South Carolina in 1992.

The B1G announcement of realignment in 2009 and subsequent taking of Nebraska in 2010, prompted the SEC's response to take A&M and Mizzou in 2011.

The 2022 move of Texas and OU to the SEC, is the first time the SEC actually moved before the B1G.

So like I said before, both conferences and all schools associated with either conference, are equally complicit.

I mean....Penn State was an independent....so it's not really the same thing.  Nebraska was taken to establish divisions and a championship game.  But yes....basically all of these moves have been to maximize revenue.  Not for what is in the best interest of the league.  Neither the Big Ten nor the SEC are innocent.

That's my only point here.  Pointing fingers is silly when they're all just doing the same thing, doing what they can to increase revenue.

This is the blessing, and the curse, of the 1984 court cases against the NCAA that wrested television rights away from that organization, and granted them back to the schools, or rather the schools' designated agents-- the conferences.
