Well, according to SEC bylaws, 11 of the 14 SEC schools would have to vote in favor of extending offers to Texas and Oklahoma.
That means four SEC schools would need to vote no to keep this from happening.
So how would the SEC schools vote? It’s a great question. I don’t think SEC commissioner Greg Sankey would bring a vote unless he was confident the conference members would vote to expand.
Having said that, in past years, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Kentucky have banded together to agree to vote against any other schools in their respective states from receiving an offer. That kept Georgia Tech, Florida State, Louisville, and Clemson from ever receiving an offer to join the SEC. Since that quad was formed, Texas A&M has now entered the SEC as a new member. In theory, these five schools could join together and bar a school like Texas from receiving an SEC invite.
But does that alliance still exist? And might Georgia, Florida, Kentucky and South Carolina, seeing Texas A&M begin to rise, actually prefer that the Aggies had in-state competition in a football crazy state like Texas? It’s a fantastic question.
We a AAU school along with Iowa St. Us and UT the only schools in the Big XII with that distinction
and Iowa st,Kansas campus isn’t near a big tv market so I can’t see the big 10 making a move on them if any thing the big ten would try to get UNC and ND in the big ten
