Yep.

The college football has become a shell of its former self. Twenty years ago it enjoyed broad national appeal. Now it's only played seriously in the South and Midwest. USC had to leave the Pac-12 (a conference they practically helped found) in order for its football program to survive. Similarly, Oklahoma and Texas saw the writing on the wall for the Big 12.
