It might be time for the schools who spend all of their time pining away for membership in the B1G or Sec to reassess the prudence of doing so. This would be especially true of B12 schools like Tech. Should Tech continue on its current trajectory, it’s possible they could represent the B12 in the CPF every year for the foreseeable future. At the same time, it’s hard to ignore the allure of playing in conferences which were largely crafted by media conglomerates that can promote their brands and make life miserable for those outside their orbit. Arkansas proves the earlier point. By virtue of their fidelity to the Sec, including the money and visibility it provides, it appears wouldn’t change a thing, despite 20+ years of losing football. Why would a school like Tech even want to flirt with the idea of becoming another Arkansas? Sometimes, comparison really is the thief of joy, especially if it’s possible to grow and flourish where you are planted.
