Message: [QUOTE="Ringostar57, post: 3247974, member: 5189"] The old days football was more of a regional thing.....Perceptions started to change with TV and air travel...and then with cable the final nail in the coffin it became national. You had teams joining conferences in the 40s and 50s ..that for some time preserved the old regional outlook...but that accelerated the view of interconference/regional rivalry aided by the ease of travel and tv. The conference champs year after year seemed to be populated by 2 or three teams with those teams becoming national brands until some conferences became national brands, like the SEC. [/QUOTE]
