Not all college football programs are created equal. We are perhaps, reminded of that even more with the latest round of league expansion. The riches and most powerful programs are being gobbled up to enhance other leagues’ pedigree, while others are left in a cruel game of musical chairs where someone is most likely going to be left without a seat at the big boy table, and relegated to a less desirable alternative.
Right now, it’s the Big Ten, SEC, and to a lesser extent, the Big 12, that’s doing the hunting and consumption of programs looking for a better and sweeter deal (ACC, you are on the clock). So much so, that after the latest news of Oregon and Washington joining UCLA and USC in the Big Ten, the Pac-12 is most likely going the way of the rotary phone save for Bruce Willis hopping on an asteroid and saving the presumed crash, burn, and inhalation of the conference now left with just four members.
