It sucks, but it's been trending in the direction of this since the day we added Carolina and Arkansas and decided to be "forward thinking" aka make a lot of money.
IDK< when we added Carolina and Arkansas, it was the first time we actually had divisions and set schedules which wasn't a bad thing and wasn't too hard to manage with only 12 teams in the conference. WHere they screwed up at the startv was having two permanenets and only one rotating cross division game. If they'd started out with only one permanent cross-division game, you'd be playing every team from the other division at least once every 3 years and playing home and away everywhere every 6 years. They eventually did that, but then screwed that up when they added Missouri and A&M

I don't think the 1992 moves were bad, it was just the first movement in what became the SEC looking to add things and change and become more powerful and richer. Everything before that was a good ole boy conference that was regional and fine with it. Everything after was looking for more, for better and worse.
2012 is certainly where things took off like a rocket ship.
