In this discussion, we have used terms like SEC to describe certain large, public universities in Southern states. Phrases related to athlete conference groupings are very irrelevant as the conferences have been changing rapidly.
Last year, it was announced that University of Texas and University of Oklahoma would be joining the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Neither Austin, Texas nor Norman, Oklahoma are in the Southeast region of the United States. Texas A&M in College Station, Texas joined the SEC in 2012. All 3 of these schools are out of the traditional SEC geographical footprint. Someone could even make the case that University of Arkansas, which joined the SEC in 1992, is out of the traditional geographic footprint. Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas A&M are all large public universities with a decent party scene.
College athletics are also complete bullshiit to most students. Most students are not college football or college basketball players.
The newest instance of an athletic conference realignment is coming from the Pacific 12 Conference. University of Southern California (USC) and University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) are announcing that they are looking to leave the conference. USC has a reputation for attractive women and partying. USC is a private school, which is a different environment than a lot of the large, public universities discussed in this thread.

Great advice. The extracurricular activities on campus are a better way for getting laid than random off campus parties and also more likely to lead to an extended girlfriend, which can up the sexual frequency.My advice to any kid in college, especially in a college town, is to first of all pick an employable enough major with the goal of having an internship by junior year. After that, socialize as much as possible, focus on making friends. Take part in large activities and have fun.
