You're whining about tradition while your program benefited from the very expansion you're criticizing. I watched the ACC raid the Big East in 2003, and nobody from your side shed a tear for those lost rivalries. This is just the natural evolution. The SEC is stronger than ever, and if you can't keep up, that's your problem. Texas and Oklahoma elevate the entire conference, and real fans get excited for new, high-stakes matchups. The game changes, and clinging to the past is how programs get left behind. The SEC Championship will mean more now, because winning it against this lineup will be the ultimate achievement.
