Let's examine.

SEC - 0 (Alabama current football champion)
ACC - 0* (Virginia defending baseball champion)
Big Ten - 1 season (Ohio State football 2014-15)
American - 2 seasons (Connecticut basketball 2014)
PAC 12 - 3 seasons (UCLA baseball 2013)
x-Big East - 3 seasons (Louisville basketball 2013)

Big 12 - 8 seasons (Kansas basketball 2008)
y-WAC - 8 seasons (Fresno State baseball 2008)

x-Louisville was a member of the Big East in 2013, now a member of the ACC

y-Fresno State was a member of the WAC in 2008, now a member of the Mountain West

The big 12 is so incredibly overrated year after year in every sport

And yet again, next year will roll around and Baylor, TCU, Oklahoma, and Okie State will be regarded as CFP contenders despite the fact that none of them play each other until November and they just feast on abysmal competition.

When was the last title A&M contributed a title in the big 3? Either to the SWC, B12, or SEC?

Please add an asterisk next to Louisville's listing. That team was paid for in whore's blood.

I'd like to see the SEC go back to dominating everything rather than living on our laurels.

When was the last time we took as a conference, two outta of the big four or three outta the big four or four outta the big four championships?

Football
Men's Basketball
Baseball
Women's Basketball

We've done it in the past half decade or so, have we not? Since 2000, the start of the new millennium perhaps?

2011-2012

Football - Alabama
Basketball - Kentucky

You can't count 2010-2011 because A&M was Big 12 back then.

If your WBB program is not generating money right now - then you're wrong.

And if a sport is generating money, showing a profit, then it's good enough to be considered one of the Big sports.

The SEC should get with the program, conference wide, and take full advantage of the many women's basketball fans out there ... as well as the potential for more TV revenue to be generated.

So, you may lol all you wish ... but it's ignorant and behind the times to do so.

Every penny counts these days.

Pat Head Summit and Tennessee carried the banner for years in this conference ... and they are doing it again this year.

So that means gymnastics is one of the big sports since it's profitable for us.

I thought the WAC/Big East no longer existed?
