As far as the name sec and divisional break downs and alignments. Tv doesn't care about rivalries. Tv cares if Alabama v auburn or Oklahoma or Tennessee or Texas brings the best ratings. They'll make divisions and align teams to create match ups and maximize tv ratings.
Tv runs college football and will only continue to control college football more so. The schools wont push back, only saying give me more more more money daddy.
What this guy ^ said.
The TV peeps do care about "rivalries", however... but only as far as the ratings they will deliver. That's a lot of why the Bammer/UT & Bammer/Aubie games "have" to take place...
