ViAggie Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 That SEC statement is hilarious, the decision is already made or OU and Texas would have never put in a request. SEC was probably in cahoots the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azgreg Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 1 hour ago, ViAggie said: Some Tejas lawmakers want to throw a wrench (doubt this goes anywhere) “Are the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma another step closer to taking their Red River rivalry to the Southeastern Conference? The latest statement from both universities makes it appear that way. On Monday, UT and OU issued a joint statement explaining that the schools notified their current conference, the Big 12, that they would not be renewing their media rights deal after it expires in 2025. The move is considered the first and significant formal step in the process of departing the Big 12. The statement didn’t name the SEC, but the timing adds up.” “Just last week, ESPN confirmed that Texas and Oklahoma could make their move to the SEC official in a matter of weeks. But not everybody wants to see this happen. A group of Texas lawmakers recently filed legislation that would prohibit Texas public colleges from switching their affiliations with collegiate athletic conferences without the legislature’s approval” – ABC13 Dallas.

Yeah, I don't think New York market was a good enough reason. If 2025 is the real time frame of the move, there will be plenty of jockeying and pleading for the next 2 or 3 years. Kansas is a possibility for the BIG a lot of big things go on in Kansas city area they have eyes there and they have time to show they will invest in football imo.
