College Football As We Know It Soon To End?

Well the Pac-16 mega conference did not happen.  There was a lot of moving and shaking, selling, wheeling and dealing.  And there was some movement between conferences.  But it appears that at the last minute, some people down in Texas and Oklahoma stopped to ask, “Hey, what’s the rush?”.  So college football didn’t get completely turned upside down.  But what is the rest of the story…..Well, I don’t have a crystal ball, nor are the powers that be calling me to tell me their real plans.  But I can take an educated guess.

I believe that mega conferences are coming, it’s only a matter of time (translate to money).  The TV revenues that a “mega conference” can offer will ultimately win out over local rivalries, tradition, and probably some common sense in some cases.




I hate to say it, but as Mr. Smith said to Neo in The Matrix  “Hear that? That’s the sound of the inevitable.” Or something like that.   I believe that the big dollars will just be too much to turn down.   So if it’s money, why didn’t it happen this time?  Well I don’t know for sure, but I can hazard a guess.

I think that once the SEC jumped into the fray competing with the Pac-10, someone or several someones at Texas, A&M, Oklahoma or all of the above said “Wait a minute, we don’t want to rush here.  We might leave money on the table if we make a rash decision.”

Call me cynical? You bet.  It’s going to happen.  And sooner, rather than later.
