Not sure if I believe this report but here it is:
Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Time for the two remaining AAU Big 12 schools to reach out to the Big Ten...
Well, that's a lot different than some hack blogger reporting it. Still not sure why OU would do that, but ok.
They'd take KU. Considering it's all about TV markets what does ISU add to the Big 10? I'd say it's more likely the Big 10 would try and poach Virginia or UNC if they were looking to expand.
They cant handle playing in a conference with Iowa State any more.
Didn't the Oklahoma State Legislature pass something saying the if OU left to another conference OSU had to be able to go with it?
I don't believe this for one moment, why would either OU or UT want to go a league that makes it harder for them to reach the playoff? For the money, both are in the top 10 in funding each year, with UT generally leading it.
If they want to go, then go enjoy going from leading the conference to now being one team in a conference where your opinion has less weight then those schools that have been their for decades.
I would say this is nothing more than both OU and UT trying to send a message to big 12 that it might be time to do away with our some what equal revenues and they want to be paid more for staying in the league.

I don't think it is all about TV markets. TV isn't consumed in the way the "all about TV markets" people think it is in the 21st century. That is some paradigm from the 1950s.
They decided they had had enough of the stiff competition from ISU, so they want to face off against Bama, Auburn and LSU to give themselves a breather
Ok, but don't Tech and Okie State have to go with them too? The SEC is gonna add 4 more teams? I'm skeptical. There's likely some other motivation behind this other than wanting to leave
At least our program is in a much better place than during the Big 12 Missile Crisis, should this unlikely report prove true.
Let’s win the natty and go to the SEC ourselves.
Why did they add Rutgers and Maryland then? What do they bring to the conference other than big TV markets? If it was about better rivalries and balance wouldn't Pitt and Syracuse been better schools?
Could be some **** swinging to get a better deal in the Big 12. Though not sure what that would be?
