Proven false by the fact that they were turned down by every conference they tried to join in 2012.

Extremely debatable. There are only 2 public schools in the top 10 in the country in endowment. Both are in Texas.

"Large Metropolitan Areas" are greater than 500,000 people. Norman isn't close. Neither city is that great.

Number of Big 12 Titles before A&M left for the SEC:
Texas A&M - 61 (5 in sports Oklahoma doesn't participate)
Oklahoma - 49 (6 in sports A&M doesn't participate)
It took you 3 years to finally catch us AFTER we left the conference, and 6 of those titles were in gymnastics (which, admittedly there's no excuse for us not participating) and rowing.

Not true, OU was invited to the SEC and turned it down, mostly because of Okie Lite.

OKC isn't a large metro area? It's 15 minutes from Norman

Fact is, it wasn't OU that was turned down. It was little brother that no one wanted. If OU had been willing to drop the requirement that Okie Lite be admitted too, we would have a completely different conference association.
Personally, if OU is going to leave the Big 12, I'd love to see them in the SEC. I would become a season ticket holder again if the home games I got to see each season included teams like Bama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Georgia, Tennessee, etc. At least then I'd be guaranteed to see a real game and not one that's over by halftime.
Plus, there'd be a few guaranteed wins built in too (A&M, Mizzou, Vanderbilt, Kentucky)...
