My alma mater has won the SEC regular season title as many time as the rest of the conference. Combined.

That is all.

Are you talking about basketball and Kentucky

I wouldn't have much pride at all in SEC basketball... even the Big 12 has like 6 schools with 25+ March Madness bids (not including Mizzou), and the SEC has 3 if you include Mizzou's 28.

UK's bench some years could probably finish top 3 in that conference.

And that's an arbitrary metric, of course, but a metric that a conference could be proud of by saying a large number of teams routinely make the tournament.

I think it means, something but I don’t know what. It’s still hard to be the best regular season team in a Power 5 conference that many times

Doesn’t mean as much as a title, though.

I view Calipari’s legacy at Kentucky as disappointing if he does not win another title.

Well, if you remove most of Mizzou and A&M's bids from when they earned them in the B12, it would actually make SEC basketball 7th, not top 5... one spot above The American.

PAC releases statement that they are not pursuing expansion at this time.

In terms of bids?

I don’t care about bids. All I care about is titles.

B12 has 3 schools with basketball titles(OK St., KU, Baylor). SEC has 3(Florida, UK, Arkansas).

I don’t see the difference?

Well, that is interesting.

They will revisit it within the next few years when negotiating their new media contract. Theirs goes through 2024. With all the heat the SEC and ESPN is under with OU and Texas, they are going to wait until the dust settles. Big12 rights are still through 2025, so 2021 is pretty premature to make those decisions. The remaining 8 aren’t going to pay all the exit fees that Texas and Oklahoma will have to pay.

Well, you also don't know the difference between Kansas basketball and USC basketball, so it's not terribly surprising. :shrug:

RustShack 08-26-2021 02:30 PM

The real test will be if/when the Big12 moves to expand. Schools that vote no to expansion likely know they have a new home.

I know one of them has had a top 6 NBA draft pick in each of the past two years.

This is the stupidest way to compare conferences or judge anything.

A team winning one title 50 years ago does not equal sustained recent success. Gonzaga hasn't won a title but has been one of the top programs for the last 20 years - UTEP has a title.
