Rooting against your conference rivals makes so much more sense in the pro leagues.
College on the other hand, is every conference for itself. All conferences are competition to one another for dollars, recruits, bowls and now playoff access.
Conference foes winning national championships, bowls and games against other conferences helps the rest of the league, financially and their status.
With that said, it matters more for the B12, P12, ACC etc. so ISU or Tech fans were probably rooting for KU in the final four. On the other hand, I’m sure most of the SEC teams feel secure enough in their conference, that it makes much less sense for them to root for one another.

There's only one conference that has a nerd-bundle of sticks chant, and it ain't the B12 or P12 or ACC.
SEC goons love putting their tongue up Bama's ass and tasting their success second-hand. mutt losers like PGM were definitely jizzing over this last title game and saying stuff like "I don't care who pulls it out, it's a win for the conference either way!!"
