Why would you want to be in the SEC? I would much rather be the Ohio State/Michigan of the Big 12. TCU went to the playoff, you can too.

Difficult to comprehend one man has given 650 million to a university so impressive

At least Pickens didn’t have to see collegiate athletics go to shite like it has

If donor funds and endowments meant jack shite, we'd have Emory in the SEC.

Boy did A&M ever mess up in cutting him from the basketball team back in the 1940s.....

Sorry. You aren't attached at the tit to Texas and we already got the Land Burglars.

If you had taken care of business against Iowa State back in 2011, maybe possibly we'd go to bat for you.

That T. Boone money couldn't help y'all then.

1. UNC
2. UVA
3. VT
4. FSU
5. Clemson

These are the SEC’s chief interests.

OK State is not even a periphery consideration. SEC would probably take WVU or NC State before it took OK State. Virtually every Southern ACC school (besides Wake) is preferable to OK State.

Just win the B12, make the playoffs, and out-recruit OU as a result. That’s the best you can do. Don’t worry about the SEC.

Y'all do have some nice facilities for a little brother school.

Baseball stadium is decent. Fun beating y'all at your regional there last year.

We like teams that actually win championships with their resources.

We already screwed up once with A&M

I know that sounds like a lot, but it's not even two years of annual payouts in the SEC.

Not a chance. Their violent fan behavior ruined their chance. Had they not attacked and nearly killed an LSU fan. They would be n the SEC right now.

No one cares how much money you have. Oklahoma St isnt a big enough brand.

According to at least one survey, only 15% of Oklahoma consider themselves fans of Oklahoma State.

That doesn’t even include $1MM payoff to the refs if okie lite beats Texas this year.
