I hear they’re going to merge with the Big 10, forming a new conference called the “Awesome 22.”
Lol, I wouldn't doubt it, the way some of the college officials are thinking these days. I'm in the SEC and just think there's been enough merging among the major sports schools. There's a lot to be said for an alignment that, more or less, produces regional champions who can compete for the national championship. - If some of these big names want to play every year and get the big TV payoff, they can just schedule each other in the regular season year-after-year.
If three more teams defect, they’ve already copyrighted “The Magnificent Seven.”
