Come on, everyone knows KKKaptain KKKirk is pulling the strings here. Everyone is talking about OU/Texas/SEC and not the racism lawsuit and dismal recruiting. Clever KKKirk, clever!
Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
I live as rural as anyone could imagine and I have excellent asynchronous internet deep in the mountains of West Virginia. And, on top of that, I've watched the internet umbrella with great interest. It's already turned on for backbone data and will turn on for everyone else within 1 year. That's the fire which is spreading everywhere. Now if you have contradicting information, I'll wait.
I assume Texas moving to the SEC would dissolve the LHN, which would be a huge win for ESPN/Disney.
Oklahoma pulled the same TV rights ******** back in 1985.
The Big Eight voted to create a conference-wide football deal with Raycom. OU voted no, complaining that it would cause "overexposure" -- but then they also demanded to televise their non-conference games on their own terms, at the same time as the Raycom games. In other words, they wanted to compete against the Big Eight on the TV front.
And the rest of the Big Eight folded like origami. OU got to televise their non-conference games on their own "network" and they got a full revenue share of the league's Raycom deal on top of that (without even participating!).

Not sure I’ve seen anything yet to suggest OU/OSU is or isn’t a package deal other than these rumors. The statement from OSU seems more like a “we will protect our own” type of statement to reassure the fan base more than anything else IMO.
I don’t know what it is like there but that is nowhere what it is like in Iowa. I live in a newer development in the metro and still max out at 12 Mbps. Soon I should have fiber access but I don’t think they have finished setting up their network. I know people in rural areas of Iowa who don’t even have that. They are stuck in Satellite internet which sucks at the moment. Maybe the Starlink stuff will make great waves over the next year but I’m doubtful. Even then I’m not sure Satellite internet solves the issue due to latency for live sports and gaming.
I looked up ranked football wins a few years back compared to Minnesota while under Campbell.
It was completely ridiculous like 15 wins to 3.
Claiming Campbell's results are similar to Minnesota is one of the dumbest things ever posted here.
You are SO right. Which then becomes the single biggest reason why it's a HUGE loss for Texas.
Centurylink's refusal to invest in high speed infrastructure is absolutely maddening. I'm handcuffed to Mediacom but that all changes once the infrastructure in West DSM is completed and Google comes into play.
It's a big Iowa talking point. Some radio dude or some Iowa beat writer must have planted that seed. All over reddit we got Hawkeye fans saying that 2020 Iowa State was like 2019 Minnesota and in 2021 Iowa State isn't gonna be good because Minnesota wasn't good in 2020.
Nearly any article or comment on ISU, there's some hawkfuck spouting it like its gospel
Except with NIL there’s another Brand Factor that would create another huge gulf, and if there’s a break from the NCAA no scholarship limit.
Face it, if you are left out of that club you won’t be remotely competitive, on the field or in terms of interest to the point that having CFB for those schools eventually may not even make financial sense. Then again, if a new league is only like 30ish teams large, even the big boy league is eventually going to be far less lucrative than CFB is now.
CFB isn’t huge because Ohio State and Oklahoma fans watch a game between the two teams. CFB is huge because Iowa State, Okie State, Iowa, Illinois, etc fans all watch too.
Schools know this and are likely figuring out realignment.
I can't remember the exact total but Campbell's # of ranked wins is ridiculously higher than Minnesota's in the same time frame. Like laughably higher to the point that comparing them is foolish.
Minnesota, legit, did not play a non-con P5, during an 8 game league schedule multiple times.
Off the top of my head, I don't know any school that's ever really done that.
