It will absolutely hurt their recruiting
Good luck going in to Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi etc and convincing kids to commit to your school (you know… the states your games will be played in away from home and where your theoretical footprint should be)
Parents enjoy being present at their kids games
Have you looked at a US map lately?
Might as well be in Mexico or California
You would think NIL would offset this but unfortunately for homa the rest of the schools in this conference spend more than the comp you’re used to

This makes zero sense. Joining the conference will increase their chances with recruiting the southeast and both schools recruit nationally.

The issues for both schools remain the same... Defense for OU & the right HC for Texas. If OU tanks it will be likely due to Venebles being a bust and the next guy not being a good fit either (see Texas 2010>)

I can see OU dipping a bit early in the SEC and Texas quite frankly has everything to gain, we've been avg for years.

Long term I like Texas' chances. Best talent/depth we've had since Mack's good years and the trenches are a big part of that. NIL had a bigger/more positive effect on Texas than any program in the country and that's the future like it or not. Eventually Texas gets the right guy @ HC.

We already recruit in those states and have for years.

You idiot. Do you follow recruiting?! OU is beating Bama and Georgia for some elite recruits now. What will you say when we end up with the best DLine class in the country this year.
