OU is a national brand


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



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)...

After a trip to College Station, Slive went to Norman but OU administration said only if Pokes could come along. I understand this is an accurate rendition of Slive's response.



Mizzou got OU's invite so only way it works now is if Sooners pay Tigers to move to the B1G or PAC.
