The SEC changed everything when they followed NASCAR's lead, exposing their passionate fan base to the nation at large. Back then, college sports was more than happy to be a regional attraction. It used to be that there were three main conferences, the SEC, the ACC, and the Southwest Conference, with a whole lot of solid independents mixed in.
