SEC Shorts releases amusing skit about the divisions being fired

SEC Shorts is out with a rare offseason video just in time to show how Oklahoma and Texas will change the league. Put simply, divisions are no more.
“You think you’re getting them both don’t you,” East said to West outside an SEC building.
West replied, “Hey, I’m willing to send over Auburn and Mississippi State.”
East countered, “Oh geez, what a deal, don’t take Missouri from me!”
The plot twists for the divisions happens when their keycards to the building won’t work.
Once in the building, they get the unfortunate news that divisions are out.
“College football is changing,” they’re told. “These bigger conferences, the division format, it just doesn’t make sense anymore.”
They can’t believe it.
East: “33 years together and this is how you do us?”
They also take a shot at the ongoing scheduling quirk that Georgia has not yet played at Texas A&M, something that’s called a “Southeastern Conference tradition.”
East and West then strike a supportive tone for the conference.
West said, “This isn’t easy for me to say, but with the changing nature of college football, I get it.”
East added, “Soon, no conference will have divisions. You want your very best team in line to go to the Playoffs every year.”
But just as things were headed to a conciliatory tone, they bring up the 9-game schedule.
