With Texas and Oklahoma bolting for the SEC soon, I had to make this post before the conference ceases to exist. If I had to guess, I would say the remaining members of the Pac-12 and the Big XII will merge to make another mega-conference, and "major" college sports will hinge around a big three instead of a big five. And just as the Big XII has been a bit of the odd one out in recent history, the ACC will probably be that going forward. Or maybe the NCAA will take over conferences and force a realignment in much the same way MLB took over minor league baseball and forced their own alignment there. We'll see. For today's post, Iowa St. is the only school in the conference not to have varsity baseball. That team existed until relatively recently, not getting cut until 2001. They won four conference championships while they existed, for whatever that's worth now. Probably not a lot. I am also going to include championships won as part of the old Southwest Conference here, too. I don't know if that's consistent or not, but I'm doing it.
