ten or twelve team conferences are ideal.

That was a big deal in the 80's. You might only be on TV three times or so per year.

I shed a tear
All fans of the old guard should get a pin to commemorate our longevity and dedication prior to the SEC Rant

Thank goodness for night games and WWL. We could listen to every LSU game even after moving to Alabama.

John Boy made a good living just reminiscing about what life was like sitting around the radio. Apparentely, it was awesome.

To tap into my inner curmudgeon...
Remember when every game wasn't televised, so if you wanted to see the game, you had to actually go to the stadium? That's what drove us to the over 100K capacity stadiums in the first place.
Remember when there weren't jumbotrons in each endzone, so things got LOUDER after a big play, instead of getting quite while everyone turns to watch the replay?
That being said, in the grand scheme of things, the SEC remains AWESOME.

That intro takes me back. It was huge to be on TV in those days. Enjoyed watching, thanks

Depending on what part of Bama you resided in, you’d also get UGA night games on WSB.

I feel like we are just taking the long away around to get to this again
The conferences will be enormous and begin to be divided into regional pods that mostly play each other while playing a couple teams a year outside that pod. Essentially an nfl setup with to major conferences with smaller divisions within each (college divisions obviously be larger, 10-15 teams, so more teams in the divisions with more divisional games)
we are taking the long way to end up where we started, as we will slowly come to the realization that where we started was better
The question for me will be will certain pods become so powerful in viewership and success that they can break off with their own TV deals or have to great an influence. Will the large "conferences" be able to hold it together or will they fracture? If they fracture we are essentially exactly where we started with regional conferences. I suspect that years down the line they would fracture as the $$$ starts picking sides

10 team SEC just wasn't that interesting.
