Texas = prima donnas. They’re a great program, but I’m not sure they would have been good for our conference. They would have never agreed to the profit sharing scheme we have. Hell, they have their own network.

Oklahoma would have been a good addition, but I don’t think they would have separated from Okie State.

You are correct on both. This is all hypothetical. If they never did the LHN which by the way ruined what was once a decent league, then Texas would been a no brainer. Their revenue is usually #1 in all athletics. They’re a flagship brand name. They belong in a league with the likes of LSU, Alabama, Florida, Georgia etc. not the likes of Kansas, Iowa State, West Virginia etc. The same goes for Oklahoma. These brands are too historical to be associated with low tier programs. They both belong in either the SEC or big10.

I don’t understand why Oklahoma or Texas are content with the big12. SEC aside, why not play in a conference with other blue bloods instead of beating up on basketball schools like Kansas? What’s the average stadium size these teams play in besides their own?

After talking to an OU booster, I don't think they can due to their state legislation. They would love to go somewhere else but they have to be a package deal.
