"I just feel personally that they would be excellent in the Big 12," he said. "Geographically, where they're located-- can you imagine the series with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State every year? Also, Texas, TCU, all the teams there in the area.

"I think it would bring Texas recruiting, being that they would be down there competing in the Texas area, even in Oklahoma," Stoops said. The former head coach said that Arkansas has an opportunity to "make a mark" in the Big 12.

Of course the Big 12's #1 target in expansion would be Arkansas. That's obvious af. But, we turn them down every time.

Missouri would be too

I would love for SEC to contract back to 12 and then you can make some better decisions

Would feel better about it if LSU made the jump too. That way it would feel less like we were running from the SEC and it would bring a solid rival with us.

From that article:

quote:

When Broyles moved the team to the SEC, it effectively killed off the famous Arkansas-Texas rivalry. Since 1992, the teams have only met twice to play college football.


Since 1992, Arkansas and Texas have played 5 times:

2000
2003
2004
2008
2014

Media is useless.

This is probably total bullshite, but the other night someone was chirping about how the Big12 was looking to abolish the LHN in order to form a Big12 Network. Then the Big12 would invite Arkansas and Nebraska and offer quite a lot of money.

Two days later Bob Stoops says this. Hmm

Kick out WVU and ISU, and throw back in a Colorado school so I can go to Colorado more often, and I'm game.

We've shared a conference with four of those teams at any point in our history.

Would love Arkansas in the Big 12 and seems a better geographic fit than the SEC.

But most hog and aggie fans I know seem content chanting SEC!! in my face and finishing around .500 every year.

Might have something to do with their share of the pie being the same as Bama and Vandy.

All things considered it would probably be better for college football as a whole. It would bring the Big 12 back up to 12 teams so that they can have a legit conference championship and the SEC would go back to 12 teams solving a lot of scheduling issues.
