Regional Conferences in College Football Expanding

In recent years, college football conferences have undergone significant expansion, moving away from their traditional regional focus. The Big Ten conference, for example, has expanded to include universities from coast to coast, while the SEC has also extended its reach beyond the South. The ACC now spans from the East Coast to the West Coast, and the Pac-12 conference has morphed into a nationwide alliance. This trend in college football mirrors the shift towards national politics, where national perspectives and viewpoints are replacing regional ones. Just as regional differences are giving way to national trends in college football, so too are they shaping the landscape of American politics.
