The SEC Has Announced Their Locked Opponents Schedule For The Next Four Years And...The Game Is Gone
There are two MASSIVE issues with what is above. LSU-Alabama isn't guaranteed every year. Florida-Tennessee isn't either. For all the growth of college football, this is where conference expansion kills the sport. If you've been a fan of college football in the last 30 or even the last 10 years you know those games mean something. They're iconic rivalry games in the beginning or middle of the season that everyone gets jacked for. Conference and National Championship implications. Big boy football. Iconic coaches. Fans bases who hate each other. Now they're going to fade so Tennessee can play Missouri or Texas are part of their rotating "conference" schedule that really means nothing.
NIL is a good thing. The transfer portal sucks, but it's fair to the players. I like the college football playoff. I do not understand why we can't have the old conferences with tradition and games that have mattered for 100 fucking years and keep the positive changes. The conference expansion is killing the game and people should care about that.
