For me all the good rivalries are gone except OSU Michigan.
I hate everything about the SEC. Just how it is. College is way too close to pro now.
Yes, he doesn’t watch much college football, or he would see all the segments about the first black who did this or that, the interviews that focus on race, the practice shirts with BLM type slogans, or the crap words on the backs of helmets. I still watch college football, and at least this year they haven’t done this crap as much.
OU and Texas may be begging the Big 12 to let them back in. They won’t be able to dominate the SEC and the only sure victory for them will be Vanderbilt.
As long as the cash flows increase, they’ll happily finish 6-6.
Well the big 12 pretty much slammed the door the next week.
It was a stupid stupid move if you appreciate College Football for what it is and not solely as a cash cow. OU just destroyed 100+years of rivalry games in a lot of sports.
Teams are dying to get into the big 12.
“Nebraska gave up their whole legacy by moving.”
Yeah. I miss the days of the Big Eight and Big 12.
Really good article here on Nebraska’s problems in the Big Ten

I do agree with the lack of stability. Some of the idiots they have had as coach - Bill Callahan?!? - predate the move to the Big Ten. At the top, they have had crappy ADs, who have made bad decisions, year after year.
If they had stayed in the Big 12, odds are they would be moving to the SEC with Texas and OU.
Yeah, OU will be just another team in the SEC. But lots of money in the SEC.
The SEC and some indies such as ND have more power than the NCAA. The SEC pretty much calls the shots for a large chunk of college football.
Yeah, I think you’re right.
When I have some time, I’ll post my proposal to overhaul College Football.
So you like less competition
And $$$$
That’s why they joined isn’t it...
I agree it’s weird
Soon enough it’ll be SEC and some grouping of holdouts
And of course media’s fav
Jesus Team
I love their uniforms but the annual fawning all my life....ugh
When I was a kid Oklahoma and Nebraska were awesome
Orange bowl bound
Or the Bluebonnet
The competition is still there, just the motivation has changed to mostly cash compensation vs a degree. Of course a degree in communication or sports isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
