This deal between the SEC and the Big 12 pleases me to no end.
Been around this football world for a while, one thing that always po'd me to no end was the relationship between the Big Whatever and the Pac Whatever. Did not want to allow the teams from the South to participate in the State of California's Rose Bowl. Don't blame them, check the recent past with the SEC and the Big 12 when it comes to National Championships. If you are scared, say so.
This new alignment will take a lot of the shine off of the above mentioned conferences and their little pitty pat party.
Goes to show that even though we have two new teams in the SEC that were in the Big 12, feelings were put behind those that did not like the change, and the two conferences made what I think was a super decision.
Believe that recruiting will become even stronger for the SEC and the Big 12 because of this move. Don't always agree with Slive, but damn sure agree with this move.
