I think he's trying to erroneously claim that Oklahoma and Oklahoma State share a board of regents.
This claim apparently has passed into aggy lore and will be held up as aggy fact until the end of time.

A. Shut the frick up, Randy.
B. I was asking. He can answer for himself. Go write this shite on your aggy blog.

I am just asking if Oklahoma can act independently from OSU and leave the B12 and head to another conference alone?
Of course we can. The correct question to ask is, would we? The most likely answer to that, is no.

If you're so rich, why are you requiring student fees and hotel taxes to help pay off stadium construction debt?

Exhibit 25032 proving that Smart Post is Randolph Duke.
Shut the frick up, Randy.

No.
Oklahoma State has it's own board of regents which includes all Oklahoma State universities, branches, Conner's State, NE A&M, Langston, and Panhandle State.
University of Oklahoma board of regents includes OU-Health Sciences and OU-Tulsa, Cameron State, and Rogers State.
Both systems then report to and are governed by The Oklahoma State Board of Regents for Higher Education.
The Board of Regents for Higher Education though is only for matters of education, not athletics. They have little or no say as to what conference a University joins for Athletics. The members of this board are also members of OSU’s Regents and OU’s Regents, for the most part (though not all). The members of this board are appointed by the Governor.

Let me guess you will bring up that line item that the athletic department hasn't paid back the Univeristy bullshite? Constitutional amendment seperating the schools bullshite. Deulusion bullshite.
I agree shut the frick up Randy

Luckily I'm not tasked with considering such an option or making the decision that would come with it, but you're talking about 114 years of shared history and competition with an in-state sister school.
I'd assume there's a sense of obligation in that where would they go if we threw them overboard just to look out for ourselves? There are deep cultural and familial ties between the two programs in the state spanning multiple generations. What impact does divorce usually have on a family?

Sounds like it’s not so easy to just make a move all by yourself

So, wouldn't we have the same sense of obligation?
Wouldn't we consider the same issues before deciding to destroy a 118-year instate relationship?
Wouldn't there need to be grounds for throwing all of that away?

It is if we wanted to be cold-hearted bastards about it. That's the point I'm trying to make. But at what cost? Therein lies the dilemma.

Again, don't you think we would give the same consideration before blowing up a 118-year relationship? Wouldn't there need to be some real bullshite before we did that?

Clearly not.

Not really. The state of TX is not the same as the state of OK. OK is one big small town. TX is not. We are a small population state with only two real programs in it. TX is massive, with a massive population, with multiple programs in it. No......it's not the same situation. The relationship between aggie and whorn isn't the same situation. And the ramifications aren't the same.

Depends on if you feel a sense of familial obligation between your program and a sister program. I've never gotten any sense that there was any such sort of a connection between aggie and whorn.
And like I said, you're a massive state with multiple programs and a completely different culture. OK is just a big small town. In OK, you're either a Sooner, or you're a Poke. There is nothing else to be. And your family most likely has both in it. Mine sure does.

The point is that it was not a snap decision and our admin even stated publicly a desire to remain in the same conference.
So, you're being a little disingenuous by saying we used the nonsense with the LHN and other longhorn asshatery as a pretext, don't you think?

You clearly don’t understand the Texas Legislature
Posted on 8/16/19 at 3:43 pm to Spirit Of Aggieland
I wasn't asked about the Texas legislature. I was asked about the complexities regarding the situation of OU separating from OSU in my home state, as outlined above.
Posted on 8/16/19 at 4:32 pm to CharlotteSooner
But you stated the that OK is different than TX - and ramifications aren’t the same. This is an assertion you made.
If you are further curious you could read up on how the other university presidents reacted. Namely Ken Starr
