Why is Oklahoma riding the coattails of their hated rival Texas? (other than the obvious money).
David Boren and Joe Castiglione have stated they wanted the Big 12 to survive.
They could remain in the Big 12, along with Okie State, Kansas, K-State, Iowa State and Missouri and retain the automatic BCS bid with 6 schools. This would also keep 5 of the 6 original Big 6 institutions intact as a unit.
This group could then add any number of other schools (BYU, UTAH, Louisville, Cincinnati, etc).
Bottom line is OU could be the big fish in the Big 12.
