This is true and apt.

60 years ago, Ole Miss was by far the biggest rival of LSU.

LSU v. Tulane was one of the longest rivalries in college football until it ended. (Side note, my first LSU game was v. Tulane.)

Before Florida became a rival, LSU v. Texas A&M was a tense rivalry.

When people say that Arkansas is an LSU rival now, it makes me cringe. Arkansas is only a rival of LSU in the minds of people from Arkansas.

Personally, I'm against inviting UT and OU, but it's not about resistance to change. I think mega-conferences are a bad idea in general.
