Through this latest round of conference realignment, an unlikely tension — and dare I say rivalry! — has emerged on social media between the Pac-12 and Big 12.
After reported discussions of a potential merger or of the Big 12 outright swiping members from the west after the Pac-12 lost both UCLA and USC to the Big Ten, there have been intense debates about the respective value of each conference, with one side pining for the Pac-12 using cherry-picked numbers and another side …. doing exactly the same.
The Big 12, though, might’ve dropped the mic on Wednesday on Pac-12 super-reporter Jon Wilner.
