Wondering when it will come out that going to SEC was OUs idea.

For all the bluster about culture and Academics the SEC never fit the Texass narrative. They imagine themselves as Berkeley or Standford in academic stature.

My guess is OU decided they were tired of the B12 misfits and said it is time to go to the SEC. OU wanted nothing to do with PAC the last time Texass tried to cut a deal for A&M, OU, and Tech. Prett certain They let Texass know they were going to reach out to SEC with or without Texass and that started it rolling. Kept OUs hands relatively clean.

Texass needed OU a hell of a lot more than OU needed Texass. OU to SEC was going to happen and it would have been welcomed. Going to come out this was an OU puppet master move that was brilliantly played.

A great move for OU.

Cope. If anything it was the other way around since the B1G wouldn't take OU

We were officially done with the BIG XII when the Nebraska game this year was moved to 11am kickoff, and the BIG XII refused to get involved, and FOX sports shrugged us off. Castiglione was pissed.

Who's shrugged off now?

This is the site where aggy whines about Daddy all day.
Pretty interesting. I see why the SEC had to bring us in. It was like we were already in the conference.

I think you are right about OU being the impetus for this move. If you look, OU has been making very public statements about how the B12’s actions have been financially (recruiting, TV times etc) detrimental to OU. This sets up nicely for them to argue breach of fiduciary duty in order to get out of the contract. I would say Texas saw what was going on and decided to get involved….as much as I dislike Texas, their lawyers aren’t stupid.
