Big 12 Destined for the History Books

Texas and Oklahoma chose to leave the Big 12 Sports Conference this past week for the SEC. The writing is on the wall for the rest of the conference.

Prior to that it had already dwindled to 10 schools, but another conference had that name wrapped up (although confusingly, the Big 10 now has fourteen teams). The departure of the two real powerhouse university programs, UT and Oklahoma, leave the conference with little to attract eyeballs or advertisers. Great company for the tumbleweeds in a now much more empty sports wasteland.

Alternatively, the SEC just got a lot stronger.

Perhaps the Big 12 can find comfort in joining its predecessors, the Southwest Conference and the Big 8, as a footnote of college sports history.
