July 1 marks exactly 10 years since Texas A&M, along with the Missouri Tigers, became a member of the Southeastern Conference. Combined with the departures of Nebraska and Colorado from the Big 12 years earlier, and Texas’ dalliances with the Pac 12, rapid conference realignment felt imminent. In the end, it may have taken a bit longer than some thought, but the happenings of the past year (and the past day) show that we are still in the middle of a massive shift in college athletics that began more than a decade ago.
