Did I hear a WOOSH? Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I did a search and one didn’t come up, not trying to litter the board so lock this up if there’s another thread on it…but I heard some rumblings that the SEC is looking to raid the BigXii and expand to 16 and that we may hear official word on this by August. If true we would know soon, but it’s interesting because it could affect the MWC downstream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobo81 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Yup, I saw feelers were supposedly put out that Oklahoma and Texas are interested in going to the SEC. The article was from the Houston Chronicle(?), which requires a fee that I was not going to pay in order to read the article. Texas/Oklahoma supposedly interested in joining SEC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From their A&M beat writer (which is ironic, since A&M is dead set against it). the time frame is supposedly 2 weeks. That alone seems implausible, for multiple reasons, but in the world of realignment anything is possible. The other thing that makes this interesting is that, while he is wrong as often as right, such info usually comes from UT mouthpiece Chip Brown of Horns247. Not a peep from him or Orangebloods (the other huge UT website). Yet. Guess we'll see.

I could see Kansas approving WSU for Bball reasons, though it wouldn’t make sense football-financially, which we all know drives the bus.

That would actually be a pretty cool conference with the left behind B12 schools. I also don't see it ever happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would end up in the ACC because I think the B1G would raid the ACC which would open up a spot for Cincinnati and UCF. I just don't see any of these other Big 12 teams getting interest from the B1G. Kansas probably ends up somewhere else. ACC or BIG. Oklahoma State and TCU might be good pickups for the PAC-12.

Cincy is not going ACC, I could see Kansas or WV before Cincy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCF would almost certainly be in the ACC when it's all said and done. The B1G would love to have a Boston College / UNC / Ga Tech / Virginia mix. UNC and GT would be interesting fits for the BIG ten, never thought about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSF Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 The ACC is unraidable. GOR until 2036. 1 Quote It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
