Houston Chronicle: Texas & OU reach out to SEC to join conference

[93 til]

I feel like Texas and OU going to the SEC is redundant outside of money.

Maybe the Pac-12 is a move . They make more than the Big XII but much less than the SEC so

 

[Crayola Coyote]

fukk that shyt. Would be dumb af. Not sure who it would be dumber for.

Texas who hasn't won their conference in over a decade and like 2x in two decades or Oklahoma who dominates the conference every single year.

Probably OU tbh, Not much would change for Texas

THIS. Just saying if Florida had our starters for that sugar bowl we would be set..

Are we that far off from a 20 team superconference?

Exactly the failed super league in Europe was a precursor to this. I can see this 16 plus the blue bloods of the Big10 and Pac12 going to Bezos and ESPN and shaking them down for broadcast rights.

Big 12 bout to die

Kansas gonna be hoopin in the Mountain West Conference

Nah they'd prolly wind up in the Big Ten. Football is king, but their basketball program is way too valuable to be a mid-major.

They would have to revamp that SEC East and West alignment. Alabama at a minimum would need to be in the east, probably Alabama and Auburn.

 

[Rob's al Ghul]

I will simply cease to exist.

you will hear more rumors the closer we get to 2025 because the grants of rights ends that year. The big 10 and even pac 12 will also start to make moves on Texas and OU. Those two plus Norte Dame are the prizes.

Geography aside, I think they'd actually be a better fit there than the SEC.

Plus, it'd give UMd. a chance to beat 'em up on the gridiron some more.

 

[MikelArteta]

Do it

I don't understand this, unless they're that desperate. They're not going to get the votes. Arkansas left because of them the first time. Missouri and A&M aren't going to let it happen.. LSU doesn't want them to compete for their state talent. It's an embarrassing announcement if true.

I thought the PAC was going to welcome them with open arms.

They were supposed to go to the then-Pac 10 a decade ago.

Nah. We’ll just do a basketball only deal with the Big 10

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

So what happens to the LHN @satam55 @dtownreppin214 ? There’s no way the SEC powers would allow them to keep all the $$$ from their own network AND get a cut of the SEC TV $$.

Aren’t OU and Ok State joined at the hip by law?

 

[TheNig]

Texas should have gone independent about 10 years ago.

 

[jadillac]

You ain’t good enough

Texas & Oklahoma should study what happened when Boston college, Syracuse, Pitt, etc bolted for the ACC. Not everything is greener on the other side

This move won't happen, it's posturing for more money. But these posts are laughable.

That's exactly what I was thinking.


Oregon, Ohio State, Alabama, Florida State, Clemson, Washington, Georgia, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Michigan, Texas, Southern Cal, Auburn, Florida, Penn State, Miami, Nebraska, Texas A&M, LSU.... not sure who I'd put for last spot
