If you’re just tuning into the college football realignment chaos that’s been going on these past few weeks, it’s been a doozy. In just a short amount of time, we’ve seen a number of changes that have added on to the past couple of years of realignment shifts.
How We Got Here
- In July 2021, Texas and Oklahoma announced that they would be joining the SEC by 2025, which eventually was moved up to 2024. That announcement kicked off the phase of college athletics realignment that we’re currently experiencing.
- In September 2021, the Big 12 responded by accepting BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF into the conference to replace the departing Texas and Oklahoma.
