Look how poorly the big 12 is doing in the tourney. This is because the b10 and sec have more funds to lure away the best coaches and recruits. The big12 is the best conference in basketball but only for a few years. B10 and sec each had 8 schools and we had 7. In 2030 is when all the tier 2 p5 schools had better start sweating because there will be only 2 conferences with 20 teams tops and we will not get an invite. So we should be happy for the pac 12, acc and big12 while they are still relevant. NIL and transfer portal killed college sports.
