I disagree 100% What makes the NCAA tournament so popular is

that all the conferences are represented, and the blue bloods get picked off by one of them every year. How boring would it be if only the top 3 teams of the power conferences play? America loves the upset, and if there is a Troy (for example) that knocks off a #1 FSU (also an example), they will be talking about it for years. I can't wait for the expanded playoffs, and they will find a way to get more BIG and SEC teams in, by expanding to 16. Also, I'd be OK if realignment stopped right now. I don't even care the perception of the B12 conference, as long as they continue to be relevant in the playoffs, and compete in the tournament. This fan is satisfied with where the B12 landed. I hope no matter where you guys land, you are satisfied, and looking forward to the games as much as I am.

I wonder if you added football and basketball titles in the last 10 years.

Depending on your measure......

Actually I think the Big XII and even the Big East way outperform the B1G

He can't recruit players that can win big games, he recruits kids like him

Maybe the BIG is overrated, and they paid too much. those matchups
Big12 guy • 07/07/23 10:40 AM ET
These conference discussions have nothing to do with on field performance
Vienna_Hokie • 07/07/23 11:07 AM ET
You are not wrong. I'd even take it a step further. No one cares about
Big12 guy • 07/07/23 11:59 AM ET
None of that is wrong, but I don't think it's a good thing either
