The Big and the SEC don't seem to be using anti competitive tactics to consolidate. There would still be massive competition between the two big conferences. Of the 130 schools in D1, they are bringing in another six at the most. There will still be 90 other Division 1 schools located all over the country with plenty of recruits to fill those roster spots.
How is this more anti-competitive than Facebook and Amazon buying up (or at least attempting to buy up) every single possible competitor?
