Lost in all of this is Oklahoma State

I remember a couple of years ago when re-alignment was being discussed everyone said Ok State was attached to Oklahoma no matter what. They would never, ever leave each other and that is what was stopping OU from making moves.
I guess that's completely over now that the SEC is involved

I feel bad for them. Hopefully they find a conference

SEC takes what it wants!
In all seriousness, Mickey is driving this show. If Disney didn't approach the SEC with Okie State, then Okie State needs to be mad at Disney.

I wonder where they will end up. It's a good program with a rabid fan base.

That have something to do with Boone passing away?

Will offer Mizzou and six pack of Shiner

I have serious doubts that the Pac-12 will come calling. As a fan, I cant imagine being permanently relegated from Power-5 to the American. Especially considering that they have built themselves into a top-25 program.

It would better serve everyone's interests if Mizzou left for the Big 10 and OK St. joined with OU.

And WVU. They and the Big 12 scrambled into a marriage together and now WVU is left out in the wilderness again.
I don't think they'd ever take them because they want to keep the idea that they're an academic conference but I think they'd fit well enough in the ACC. Could bring back their old rivalries with the VA schools.

Its a really good question, they are fricked.
I haven't heard a single word about them but I remember years ago OU going anywhere was not up for discussion unless OK State was involved.

Well I imagine T Boone Pickens had a lot to do with that. He's dead now.

Why is that? What is your issue with Mizzou?

Its possible that this move pressures the conferences to make additions that they normally wouldnt. But yea nobody at ESPN or Fox is nudging the ACC telling them how much more valuable theyd be if they added West Virginia

A bunch of them will get stuck with nowhere to go. They will be forgotten like tulane and smu in a decade or so. I wonder how much tcu and baylor still owe on their new stadiums. They must be losing it right now. Dang.

Not a geographic fit and brings little value to the conference. No athletic prowess, middle of the pack academics, and no historic ties with any other SEC member

great point that is probably it.
What the hell are they gonna do?
They arent terrible and get in the mix every now and then.
Wild.

Oklahoma State folks are far and away the best fans in that state.
Genuinely hospitable people.
I hope they land on their feet.

Agreed. Pac 12 is stable so long as USC doesn't go independent and there's virtually no threat for another conference to raid it.
