Revisiting a quote from a source last week: “Oklahoma & Texas have been in lock step from the beginning.” Source said schools contacted SEC in December & had already made up mind they were leaving Big 12
They've been talking to the SEC since December. They're going to the SEC.

If there is one hint of either school having one solitary communication with any conference except the SEC from this day forward, we should lose their number and let them both Nebraska themselves.

Playing FOX not the SEC
SEC is happy with the status quo. If it doesn’t happen it will because FOX wants to protect the Big Ten and gives the Big 12 concessions.
Ohio State is pissing down their pants leg

There is no benefit from a bidding war. If the option is the get the most money (short term) and not be in the best position (make a shite ton forever) then they have learned nothing from the failure of the Big 12. Unbalanced conferences will never last.

Ppl kind of have the order of OU and Texas plans A and B reversed.
Plan A is to cause the B12 to dissolve when 2 more schools announce they are leaving the conference early. This gets them out of the buy out all together. The GOR cant be enforced if there's no conference left to pay it to.
Plan B is buying their way out.

This is from today.
Now they want the Big 10, PAC, ACC and SEC to start the bidding.
If this is the case, the SEC should issue a statement today saying they are no longer interested.
Seems clear to me, they haven't decided where they want to be.
It's about time people started using their brains to read through this garbage tactic. I'm not saying they won't eventually be in SEC (not a good fit) but something else is going on behind the scenes and tu is behind it.

They're encouraging the rest of the Big 12 schools to jump ship so they don't have to pay up.

The deal is done with the SEC
This is the question no one is asking here. If a deal with the SEC is already done, then didn't they breach a binding contract that already exists? How can they sign any deal with another conference if the b12 has no dissolved yet? They have to report their departure from the b12 18 months prior to leaving. No official reports of anything has occurred (except them reporting they will not renew a grant of rights 4 years down the road).
Like I've said before, this conference is not ready for the side-ways corrupt business dealings these two cheat masters create.

The statement prior to the last sentence I quote is adequate to melt the Big 12.
The question is why is the last sentence necessary and what is its purpose? It is intended to let all the conferences know that the two schools are open to discussions.

They already know
Everyone is waiting on the B1G and the PAC 12
Could happen. Most likely not. If it doesn’t happen the Big 12 could continue unless of course FOX gives Texas and OU a great deal with the B1G.
There supposedly is talks about them paying the buyout. We will see.

The purpose of the last statement is in direct relation to the previous sentence about honoring the GOR. How can you not see that? 
Posted on 7/26/21 at 10:20 am to RiverCityTider
Oh you could be right about the shopping around conferences thing. Us fans are mushrooms, they feed us shite and keep us in the dark. I'm just saying that the leaving the big12 and ending it is on purpose and is very real.

far as most of us are concerned Texas can go ahead and go to the Big 10 or PAC I12 we don’t give a shite and neither does the SEC

I swear to God people don't understand how the world works.
They can't say they intend on not honoring a contract they signed. This is similar to when they sat on that Big-12 Executive Committee call and refused to answer when they started talking to the SEC.
These are all things they could say that would open them up to legal action taken by the conference to ensure they are stuck until 2025 or perhaps even on the hook to pay some kind of damages on the way out the door.
They are saying the minimum they're legally required to say to continue forward on the path that is already been negotiated with the SEC. This statement creates the intended effect of compromising the conference irrevocably and that will expedite the Big-12's demise. And that is ultimately what the SEC-bound schools want...they want the conference to be insolvent as soon as possible.

I think it's faculty pressure at UT. They don't see research collaboration with the SEC. They are insisting that the admin flush out a Big 10 offer.
You and I know that this would be a disaster for UT and OU athletics. They would both be Nebraska'ed. But the UT left wing faculty probably hopes UT football goes away forever. It's such a misogynistic sport. And, collaborating with a bunch of southeastern hillbillies is too damaging to the their reputations.

While I'll acknowledge that you're an alter, that won't work here. You can do that to Baylor, ISU, and K-State, but Bama, TAMU, LSU, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee have the resources to tell t.u. to get fricked. Texas is still a big fish, but you just jumped into a pond with a lot of other big fish.

This is correct.
