This is actually OU’s victory. They have wanted out of the Big 12 for years after they woke up to how conference realignment fricked them about five years after it happened.

So they gave Texas an ultimatum, and the current administration there wasn’t willing to put academic prestige and their ego over having OU and A&M in the SEC without them.

Or, it's a rumor floated to generate a bidding war between the PAC12, ACC and Big10. Texas floated a crapload of rumors just for this reason back around 2010. Back then the rumors started swirling and boom, conferences announced they were evaluating expansion partners.

The SEC has 7 national championship contenders. Some want to believe the networks decide these things, UT and OU would be better served (to them) to be in the Pac12. Otherwise the entire West Coast will forever be an afterthought for college football.
