I would trade all 3 of our current Big 12 teams for them in a heartbeat.



But there are only 2 former Big 12 schools in the SEC.

I don't see them being first choice. Not enough TV sets in OK. They could be a fallback possibly but not with OK ST. I think a VA and a NC school would be more likely and only out of UVA, VA T, UNC, and NC ST.

I understand their frustration, but they screwed themselves by becoming the preferred lap dog to Texas. They had chances with the PAC and Texas ruined the deal by wanting more money than their fair share and Baylor.

Also, I'm not crazy about 14 team conferences much less 16, though I think it will happen in 10-20 years.

If you fricks would stop losing to them (Bama) then they wouldnt think they could come here and compete.

Take care of your shite. Especially against those idiots.

Agree. But, they better get used to getting beat several times during regular season.

Would Oklahoma be better off in SEC?

Yes, it would solidify their Texas recruiting.

Would the SEC be better off with OU?

Not in the current financial model, no. But maybe in a post-SEC Network time.

Would OU be able to come to the SEC by themselves (aka with OSU)?

No one knows for sure, but you have to assume OSU has some political power to try and force OU to help them into a Power 5 conference.

Would OU + OSU be a big enough benefit for the SEC to end alignment with those two programs?

No fricking way.

Could OU afford the cost to buy out the Big 12 GOR to get to the SEC?

No fricking way, not even with SEC money.

Conclusion?

OU is fricked until:

1. OSU political power is lower (basically when you read T. Boone Pickens in dead in your newspaper).

2. The Big 12 GOR is gone

3. Conference move to a new model for revenue where its all pay-per-view



OU might be a SEC team eventually, but not for at least another 7-8 years.

Already too many red'ish teams, and would destroy the long history of Missouri dominating the SEC East.

They can want in one hand and do something else in the other.

So they were in the Big 12 4 years before its existence? (joined the SEC in 1992)

They're going to go to the PAC sooner or later. Along with UT.

Seriously doubt they ever go to the SEC.

Anybody who argues that NC State or even Va Tech is a better expansion chance than OU needs to be banned from this website.

How many TV sets in NC are even tuned into NC State football?

I'd rather trade Aggie for Oklahoma. But I'd prefer to send Mizzou and Aggie back to B12 and return to just a 12-team SEC.
