My favorite conference was the original Big 12. It was the strongest conference. It is too bad that some schools were so butt hurt that they took their balls and ran elsewhere. Texas gets the blame, but truthfully, Texas won a lot and wins a lot. Inflation is going to take a huge toll on all of us. It will destroy the budgets of the marginal schools in every league. I don't expect any cohesion among these conferences with the new schools joining. I expect a lot of contention from the beginning.

Awgusta hit the nail on the head. Most of you are focusing on the “winning the Natty” as the end game. That is not the end game at all. The end game is money and control of the sport from a media perspective. Kramer and Slive were business geniuses in doing that for the SEC. Sankey is not and is the guy just riding the SEC wave built by the Kramer/Slive. Meanwhile the BIG is becoming a national conference and will enter the south soon. You can use todays standards to laugh at the BIG. I get it. But, I watched how the Kramer/Slive built the SEC dominance on the field by winning the money game which influenced the high level players and the media narrative. This is what the BIG is doing right now that will pay off in a decade and beyond.

I'd agree in the 90s the 12 was rolling. Atm kstate had some good years. The buffs were strong. Nebraska was at the top of football texas and ou were good. By the time Nebraska played for its last natty when they got housed by Colorado and Miami the tide had already shifted toward the sec and the big 12 just got worse. By the start of cfp. Big 12 was behind all the other AQ conferences
