re: South Carolina over the years ....

My biggest regret and concern is we are not in the same conference. With the way college football has changed, there is a real possibility that one day one of the schools will decide to drop the rivalry...especially if they go to a 9 game conference schedule...Don't say it will never happen because Texas-Am went away, Nebraska-Oklahoma went away, Pitt-Penn State went away...I do think the State Legislature would get involved but this new playoff era will be interesting

I don't believe it will happen. Carolinians hold onto tradition and the circumstances were different for the other rivalries you mentioned, than would be for ours.

aTm and UT stopped playing b/c UT are some greedy assholes and aTm left the conference. The same for OU and Nebraska, but UT was to blame for that one as well. The same goes for Penn St and Pitt and their new conference alignments.

clemson and SC won't have new conference alignments, they might possibly go to 9 game conference schedules, but that won't happen for at least 10 years.
