Re: [gatortalk] Buncha change comin!
What decades of tradition, Keith? The Big 12 was organized February 25, 1994. Athletic competition didn't start until August 31, 1996. They've only finished one decade. Fourteen seasons.

Re: [gatortalk] Buncha change comin!
That is a good point, and another reason why I don't like these conferences raiding each other. One of the great things about college football is the existence of real rivalries, that go way back. Texas versus Cal Berkley? I don't think so. I guess they feel that with six of them leaving together, and heading for the same division of the Pac-16, they'll preserve enough of the traditional rivalries. Who knows? It's all about the money anyway. The only question I have is what, if anything, will the SEC do? Texas would be a better fit for us, but they seem to want to go Hollywood. Go Gators Ken B.

It tells them that their current situation is not putting them in a position to rake in the money.
