Auburn football fans, yesterday was another sign of the times. Those times–at least in the world of college football–are dominated by the SEC, and the alliance formed by the next three biggest conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12) is further evidence to support that notion.
This offseason has been an eventful one, with Texas and Oklahoma leave the Big 12 for dry by announcing their intentions to join the SEC by 2025. Those two national powerhouse brands will surely benefit from all of the big money matchups in their new conference, but it leaves eight programs in no-man’s land.
