OU and Texas on their way to the SEC?

[Boston Vol]

Exclusive: Texas, Oklahoma reach out to SEC about joining conference

“An announcement could come within a couple of weeks concerning the potential addition of UT and OU to the league, the person said, which would give the SEC 16 schools and make it the first of a national super-conference.

Wonder why...doesn't Texas pretty much print money from the Longhorn Network? Don't think they would get to keep that sweet deal and join the SEC

What. In. The. Hell.

Makes sense. We've been trending to 4x16 for a long time. I really wanted a VA and NC school for good away game destinations, but this makes a lot of financial, branding, and academic sense.

Does it still have to do with cable TV subscriptions in the states? Like would Texas add anything to the ESPN package since we are already there.. in NC and VA those are new markets

What about Oklahoma St. ?

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Well that’s two more SEC losses for us every year

They could move Mizzou to the West and Auburn and Bama to the East.

Gundy wants a raise before they can move on

 

[onevol74]

Sort of makes sense for a 9 game SEC schedule.

 

[508mikey]

Tennessee to the ACC

They could move Mizzou to the West and Auburn and Bama to the East.

[onevol74]

I bet this happens in 2023 just in time for the 12 team playoff.

Rather give back a&m & Mizzou and let them form the first super conference.

I was thinking ever since Emmett commented on a de-centralization of the NCAA’s governance that it might happen where the power conferences merge to create their own association basically

 

[hog88]

Who would the big 12 get or would it just dissolve as a conference?

 

[peaygolf]

I hate it.......but

It’s time for P5 and a few others need to bolt and just form their own division.

USC and the Arizona schools? Let the PAC12 fold they have no fan support anyway

in football Kansas wouldnt matter anyway

If that happens they should redo all the power conferences to give a little more parity, the SEC is going to be brutal compared to everyone else otherwise.

I think it’s beginning to implode and isn’t set to be renewed. They’d spin otherwise, but they overplayed their hand and it damaged the conference.
