program was it was not prepared for the significant upgrade in talent and athleticism it faced in transitioning from the Big 12 to the SEC. There is a pretty sizable gap in talent disparity between the Big 12 as a whole and the SEC as a whole.

The lesser talent in the Big 12 faces off against itself, and the greater talent in the SEC faces off against itself so it can result in similar won/loss records. And the Big 12 makes a drastic effort to game conference measurement metrics such as RPI and kenpom whereas the SEC seems completely uninterested in doing so. But I would disagree that indicates the Big 12 is a superior basketball conference. And certainly pointing to the schools the Big 12 recently added as being reinforcement of that notion is false, those schools were added because they were desperate and had no other options. The SEC didn't add them because it would be ludicrous to extend a membership offer to any of those schools not because it isn't interested in good basketball.

A top Big 12 basketball program would immediately become a middling SEC basketball program if it were allowed to switch conferences. But it is allowed the illusion that it is a top basketball program by facing the population of mediocrity of its direct competition.
