OU on the other hand is THE program and major draw for their entire state including the OKC metro and a huge alumni base and following in Dallas.
OU would bring a top 3 BBall program, top 2 football program(top 5 in revenue), top 3 baseball program, and top gymnastics program to the SEC.

Lets look at the Sooner sports spectrum

Men
Football = contender, could be #2 all the way to #6
Basketball = average to above average, certainty not Top 3
Running = CC, I T&F, O T&F = average to below average
Golf & Tennis = probably average but could be below average
Gymnastics & Wrestling = not SEC sports

Women
Volleyball = average to below average
Basketball = average, SEC women top to bottom is a meat grinder
Running = CC, I T&F, O T&F = average to below average
Golf & Tennis = probably average to below average
Gymnastics = average to above average, all 8 SEC schools were in Top 25 this year, hard to stay on top and Tide and UGA own this space
Rowing = ?? but with Tide and Vols, 1 more and it will be SEC sanctioned sport
Softball = competitive, would be interesting addition
Soccer = average

Sooners have no Swimming and Diving for men or women so that is a negative in a sport where the SEC does well

Sooners have no equestrian, rifle, M soccer, beach volleyball, bowling, or lacrosse.
