There was a lot of concern recently, perhaps justified, when the SEC plucked Texas and Oklahoma out of the Big 12, which will push the conference into new territory. Some people said it was in essence a hostile takeover of the NCAA.
That assumes a lot though. First, just as a hypothetical, what would happen if the rest of the NCAA had enough, seceded and left the SEC on its own? Just a thought, but what would happen?
And second, nearly every strength reveals a weakness and in the SEC’s case, a lot has been revealed lately.
