I Sure Didn’t See These College Football Conference Changes Coming…Good Or Bad

Until the discussion started at the beginning of this week or end of last week, whenever it was, I just didn’t see the College Football Conference changes and movements coming.  It was just a bit of a surprise.  But as I listened to all the talk this week and started thinking about what all of this means….I hate to see these moves in a way.I’m a Georgia Bulldog fan and an SEC man, so I’m really not that affected by all of this.  But I think that there is going to be a loss for College Football and for Football Fans.  Now, financially this will probably be very good for the conferences that gain and the schools who move to bigger and better conferences.  Financially they will be able to do more for their schools and programs.




So what are we losing? Well, for one thing probably some pretty good football rivalries; Texas vs Oklahoma for one.  Now we won’t know the final impact for a few more days until all the moves are announced.   But I just don’t see Texas Tech and Arizona creating good ole fashioned hate like a lot of the rivalries we have today.  And part of that is being close enough for buddies to do things like burn the final score in their friends yard.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always preferred college sports to professional.  And now I start to ask myself this question:  As money continues to drive more and more decisions in college football, I worry about what we’ll end up with 5 years from now.

Your thoughts Football Fans?
