think it was because of the State of Texas in general though not just Aggie. Oklahoma has no worries. There's not really anything that can be done to stop us from leaving
Is there no concern of OK State? I thought there might be some pushback, at least.

Yeah, pretty sure those guys share a BOR? Like 50% OU guys and 50% OSU guys on the singular BOR. I feel like that would be tough.

No that's a story that's left over from the last time we tried to expand that ppl tell wrong.
We were considering going to Pac12 without little brother. OU's President said he'd never allow it and threatened legislation to stop it from happening. (He was the former governor and probably had the connections to pull it off)
So we dropped it. He's retired now and the legislation never happened. The new President doesnt care about Oklahoma State so its smooth sailing this time.
All they can do is try to cost us money I guess but I dont know if yall realize how rich OU is in its own right yet. We may not have Texas money (nobody does) but we do have Alabama money.
