Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
I just heard about a website called OnlyFans. Do they carry much Big12 coverage?
While this cease and dissest is important. Doesn't change the fact that Oklahoma and Texas are going to the SEC.
Went for a walk, and had these questions running through my head
1. The firestorm of Bowlsby tweets implies that there is at least one school willing to snitch on ESPN. It may have been more beneficial to leverage this spy for a while longer to build a stronger legal case. So why divulge this now? Was this timing part of a well thought out plan, or just an emotional release from the conference?
2. Is there any hope the at least 4 SEC presidents will have the integrity to look at this and decide that their institution wants no part of this backstabbing? Seems unlikely.
3. Is Bowlsby aiming his tweets directly at SEC presidents to try and entice them to question this move?
4. If you are Vandy, Arkansas, or Miss State, can you feel comfortable that OU, Texas, and everyone else won't turn around and vote you out of the conference? Texas has already said that it has a problem sharing equally with schools it feels are beneath them.
5. Would OU and Tex be subject to Freedom of Information Act requests for emails to the SEC?

I'd put money down that it was Jamie Pollard who let Bowlsby in on this. My guess is the AAC contacted our AD and we had no interest...and turned the material over to the boss to make it crystal clear what ESPN is up to.
Depends on what kind of Big 12 you’re looking for.I just heard about a website called OnlyFans. Do they carry much Big12 coverage?
And someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think the SEC doesn't have a GOR. So what's stopping the new mega powers from booting the small players sooner rather than later?
Now take out the attorney fees and you are left with $300 million per school. That would soften the blow for about 10 years. Realistically, if it is as damaging as it appears (Iet's hope), I could see $100+ million per team after attorney fees. We are locked in until 2025 (unless conference blows up) with lawsuit money we probably have until 2030 to have the new college landscape bulldozed and everybody sorted into their regional pods with conference power greatly diminished.
Big 12's Bob Bowlsby sends ESPN a cease-and-desist order for SEC movement: 'A tortious interference in our business'
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby: “I have certainty (ESPN) has been involved in manipulating other conferences to go after our members."

Interesting that he told Randy "one or more".
Someone may also want to talk to Randy about his word choice
