True or False: Oklahoma and/or Texas will be the new Nebraska in the SEC

Former Big 8 power, takes a step up in competition and goes from a perineal power to a doormat. We have seen what happens when OU runs up against SEC teams before. And Venables is a significant downgrade from Riley as HC. He will not have the program ready to enter this league and they will struggle mightily to be competitive. I believe their days as an elite program are over.
Texas, I'm not sure due to its potential, that competition in the SEC could possibly unlock. They are the most underachieving program in college football. Unlimited money in a talent hotbed and only 1 title since 1970. They have been a middling team in the mediocre Big 12 for the better part of a decade. They have the tools to succeed but as long as the "my shite don't stink" booster culture and bitchness that has permeated throughout the program is in place, they will get run over. That holds them back significantly.

Neither of them will become Nebraska.

Texas is already the "new Nebraska" of the B12.
Why would that change when moving to the SEC?

UT and OU will have an even bigger recruiting area. NU lost their recruiting area when they joined the Big 10.

Meanwhile, Nebraska missed a bowl game for the 6th year in a row. We are not the same.

Texas hasn't been cheating.
Now, paying players is legal. Texas could have joined the SEC any time over the decades. It isn't a coincidence that Texas joined weeks after it became legal to get players paid.

Nebraska traded the Big 8 for the B1G, this alone assure OU and UTx of not doing the same.
OU has had success across multiple sports with less cash, less in state talent, and less population. They should be able to challenge
Utx is used to being the Big Fish in the Small Pond. With all their advantages they have severely underperformed. Until they learn to be part of the team they will continue as an underperformer in the bigger sports.
SEC was already brutal in baseball and softball, these 2 will just make it deeper and tougher.

A big part of your high strength of schedule was the Alabama game. You will be playing Alabama and programs on par with Alabama week in and week out now.

Both won't go the way of Nebraska but they will have many seasons of mixed bag that are mediocrity and good.

I think OU will be exposed
In long run Texas will be better with more resources if they could nail a football hire

If you look just at recruiting rankings, they will be playing against better talent, on a weekly basis, than they did in the B12.
What will all of that mean?

The loss of the ability to sign a roster full of partial qualifiers every year is what killed Nebraska.

And never playing in the state of Texas....
OU and Texas are gaining footholds in the South for recruiting that we have struggled in for decades. It's a net positive for OU. More Money, better recruiting grounds etc.

Outside of Georgia, who we will almost never play, who the frick is on par with Alabama?
They're 109-18 in the SEC with Saban.
