I guess it ensures a 8 team playoff too, since you cant just cleancut conference champs anymore. There will effectively only be 3 relevant conferences after this: SEC West, SEC East, and the Big 10.

The PAC12 will pretend to exist.
I wonder if they won't be part of the SEC until 2022. The SEC could break into a North/East/South/West.
I’m here for the North Southeastern Conference
I guess a side effect of this is who can the Big 10 or Pac 12 nab to get their slice?
Kansas i think is the only AAU school in the Big XII. Colorado always felt like more of a Big 10 team to me and theyre AAU as well. As are Mizzou and A&M, one of which is pretty pissy right now from the sound of it. This could get interesting.
I think its more: can the Big 10 combine with the AAC/PAC to come close to resembling a rival.
What about 4 SEC divisions.
SEC North: Kentucky, Tennessee, Vandy, Arkansas
SEC South: Florida, LSU, A&M, Texas
SEC East: Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, Carolina
SEC West: Mizzou, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Miss State
Oklahoma and Texas officially out of the Big 12. They have not yet applied for SEC membership but are expected to this week.
This went from “lol not happening” to “it just happened” real quick.
Rip to the Big 12.
ESPN Radio had a great segment, yesterday, about other teams that could leave conferences or conference mergers. The AAC teams are locked into multiple contracts through 2035, making even buyouts basically impossible.
The Big 12 HAS to make it so horns down isn't a penalty this year, we as a country need this.
They should rename the FBS playoffs to the SEC-tOSU-Clemson invitational at this point. Pac 12 doesn't exist because lol west coast
I guess I missed that being a penalty in the first place. Why? How stupid.
They considered it taunting as of last year. Cause we all know showing any sort of emotion during a big play should always be 15 yard penalties.
I think they let it slide in some instances if you aimed it at the crowd, but at a player was called.
Let's not try to have fun.
Talk about desperation…..
Big 12 commissioner is accusing ESPN of making backdoor deals to poach remaining Big 12 teams to join the AAC, which ESPN owns 100% of broadcast profits. Supposedly at least three unnamed Big 12 schools have corroborated these negotiations with ESPN.
