Super Conferences

4

Apr 26, 2023, 7:14 PM

The Southern Conference once had 23 teams that included the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Clemson, Duke, Florida, Ga. Tech, Kentucky, LSU, Maryland, Mississippi State, UNC, NCSU, Ole Miss, Sewanee, South Carolina, Tennessee, Tulane, Vanderbilt, VMI, VPI, and Washington and Lee.
It was the super conference with all the power in southern football. So why did this conference break apart. Simply, there were too many teams and each team wanted more power for themselves.
The SEC was formed with 13 teams out of the Southern Conference, the in 1953 the ACC was formed with 8 teams out of the Southern Conference.
What does all of this have to do with what is going on now? History will repeat itself.
The top teams from these super conferences will get tired of carrying the blood sucking teams that do not win conference titles or make the CFP and they will leave demanding a larger share of the pie.
These super conference will break apart after some years and the top teams will go to a conference with the top 8-10 teams and a huge television contract for them. Then another group of teams will say we want what they got and will form a new conference with another 8-10 teams. And history will repeat itself.
