Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 4342926, member: 3850"] I could see leagues of "like culture schools" Donald Fincher once tried to explain the southern football culture (and I think that includes both Texas and Oklahoma).. [HEADING=2]"Much of this phenomenon has to do with regional pride. Whether you think it's good or bad, most of the South could all be one big state as far as cultural things go. There isn't that much difference between an Arkansas fan and a Georgia fan...and we all know it.[/HEADING] [HEADING=2]College football is a religion in the South, and we all belong to the same denomination. We may have different church locations (Georgia, Alabama, LSU, etc.) but our denomination is SEC football."[/HEADING] The Big Ten also has had a common culture that its fans can recognize....But now every conference's culture is supplanted by the arms race and adding programs that bring in the most money. What seems a good fit is not a good fit if the $$$ is not there. [/QUOTE]
