I don’t know why the Big 12 did not make a run at bringing Nebraska back to the league. I know that Nebraska is a far cry from being where they used to be but it would help both the Big 12 and Nebraska. The Big 12 needs a credible name now that Texas and OU are leaving. Nebraska needs access to fertile recruiting grounds in the state of Texas. The state of Nebraska and the surrounding states really does not produce enough top players to build a program so Nebraska really needs to be able to recruit the state of Texas hard but that’s gonna be hard to do playing in the Big 10. With the departure of Texas and OU to the SEC the door would be wide open for Nebraska to dominate the Big 12 if they could just turn things around. It could be the very thing Nebraska needs to get back on track. I think it would be worth a shot for both Nebraska and the Big 12.

Still being members of the conference, do Texas and Oklahoma have a vote?

Until it's official, they're technically still B12 members which I would think they should have some say. Now, as to how they voted.....?
Including them, the B12 has 10 members.....& if 2 vote "no", that's only 20% to 80%...so would it make a difference?

About $$$$
Reason they left in the beginning. Didn’t have a thing to do with Texas
This is why message boards narratives get out of wack.
People start believing things that aren’t based on reality
Texas is the largest market for CFB
SEC didn’t want the state to be up for grabs.
They have full control of the state now.
You can do the research if you want. With the addition of Texas and Oklahoma
Texas is by far the largest state for SEC alumni.
Texas and OU not in the SEC allowed whatever conference they were in to establish a footprint.
Oklahoma just like LSU and Arkansas have a large presence in the state.
Goes back to Roy Kramer’s original plan in 1990.
Get Texas.
At that time the SEC only had a small presence through LSU and the Mississippi schools
Things have quickly changed.

Let’s watch them pay $80 mil buyouts now

Supposedly they don’t have to pay for it
Big 12 couldn’t add more schools unless there is a change with the media contract
Extending the media contract allows ESPN to get any school they choose released from GOR
Pretty much the Big 12 schools didn’t have much of a choice
They needed ESPN to extend the media contract. ESPN controlled expansion by handpicking the schools
Now ESPN can control when they put Texas and OU into the SEC
That 80 million per school is short term money
Not worth losing 10-15 million in revenue for.
Pretty simple. Would you rather get $1000 today or get 40 dollars everyday for a month
Short term or Long Term
ESPN controls almost all of the media contracts for G5 schools
They could have sent Baylor to the WAC if they wanted to

Huh, maybe you’re right. But do we know when those 4 teams will officially play Big 12 ball?
