It's all very interesting but, since I have zero control over any of it, I choose not to get worked up. That being said, the baseball will be epic. Sure makes Schlossnagle (and ATM) look brilliant.
I want to join just to stop the stupid conference debates on TBH.
I am good with joining any of the conferences with the SEC and Big 10 being my two favorites. I look forward to the new road trips that changing a conference brings. With the Big 12 TV expiring and the Big 12's lack of vision to expand, the writing is on the wall this is the time to make a move. It is nice to have choices and get to dictate your future unlike some other schools in the Big 12 are facing.
It’s called answering a question with measurable answers instead of emotional opinions. I know it’s a concept many on here struggle with.
The #1 athletic school who just so happens to be the #1 revenue generating school is available on the verge of the changing of the college athletics landscape. All the conferences have their ears open.
Texas hasn't been relevant in a major sport in the last decade. Why not collect more money and just maintain their mediocrity. It makes perfect sense for them.
From a wins and losses standpoint it would seem to make less sense for Oklahoma who, unlike Texas, is a perennial playoff contender (only to get destroyed by an SEC team). The money is just hard to pass up.
It's a matter of deciding whether they want to become Arkansas and aTm and a compete for a conference championship once every other decade and have more money than they know what to do with or have less money and, for OU, continue to be a national power in football. History says they will take the money and run.
