re: The BIG 10 is destroying itself, geographically.

The SEC has dug a hole that they cannot dig out of unless they swallow their regional pride and add Big 12 schools.

From my own perspective, I have always liked team sport divisional races and rivalries.

I.E., the Atlanta Braves thrive on treating the New York Mets like a red-headed stepchild.

And for some of the title 9 sports, six hour flights are going to suck up a lot of funds that those teams don't generate in the first place.

I am far from being sold on embracing the mega-conferences as a panacea that will have no downside issues.
