I think it would be necessary for Oklahoma and Texas to move together, everywhere except the SEC.
Oklahoma would be just fine there without Texas, for various reasons

A&M would be a no vote for Texas for sure. I'm not so sure LSU/Arky and Mizzu would all try n block either one as well for some of the same reasons.

The Big 12 can be saved with an infusion of new teams and a Big 12 Network. I'm tired of hearing why this team is good and that team is bad. Do something or you will die of inaction. Memphis is a logical choice. You need someone near West Virginia (reasonably near). Boise State makes the conference more diverse as does Brigham Young. Houston is another logical choice. You need one more team, possible Tulsa or Colorado St. That would make 16 teams and a well dispersed conference. 9 conference games each year plus a championship.
Gotta die. Haven't you heard, CFP needs four megaconferences big enough that players can go through their entire career and not play a fellow conference member. Example: I believe this is the first time Vandy and Bama have played since 2011. If my West Texas arithmetic is correct, that is 6 years so entire classes at both schools went through without playing each other.

Can you confirm that UT is NOT included in the deal with the B1G?

I would hate for them to destroy another conference.
They will be indy or PAC. Most likely indy...their reputation (and "network") will precede them.

As much as everyone likes to speculate which conference OU and Texas will jump to it honestly doesn't make any sense to leave the Big 12. They make as much money and have an easier road to the CFP. Win the Big 12 with less than 2 loses and you're in the running every season.

Keep telling yourself that.


OU won't go anywhere without Tejas

It is most certainly not necessary and OU is done with the Texas crap. Boren made that clear when he told the Big 12 if they didn't give Mayfield his last year of eligibility they could shove it and we were gone that year. Shit changed the very next day when he did that. Texas is not longer relevant, period.

Lmfao. The mountaineer knows his team is fucking sunk without the big 12 and doesn't want to accept that they'll be tits up when Oklahoma says fuck y'all in a few years. Oklahoma will do as they please and every one who has leeched off the teet will be left to fend for themselves. Y'all love to piss and moan about Boren but he's been the best thing for okie Jr. He's worked his ass of to get grants and funding and okie Jr just holds their hand out and says, "Us too!!!" Well, y'all all know the gravy train ends when the GOR is up, and fuck every one of you.

LMFAO at stupid sooner fans confusing their wishes for what may happen and being absolutely "certain" about it. We aren't exactly sunk. If OU does indeed move anywhere it will be so one of those conferences get to 16. Guess what then?? OTHERS WILL FOLLOW

I'm not entirely certain WVU will find a power 5 home, but I'm starting to believe we'll be fine.

Oklahoma fans like to think they'll do as they please. But really you'll be attached to the hip with Texas or dragging your little brother along.

The ego of sooner fans is hilarious.

Yup, its set up perfect for OU and Texas now, that's why I have a very hard time buying that either one will be looking to leave any time soon.

I can see you being right.

I can also see you being dead wrong.

Time will tell. Shit happens to change things. An no matter who you are you can't predict the future.

Still crazy the only teams that are relevant from the old Big 12 are the Okie schools and Colorado. Who would've thought Texas and Nebraska would be on the verge of Iowa State status.

Looks like everyone is losing ground to the BIG at $50+million for each school.
Except for Texas of course.
