Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Even with the money made from Oklahoma/Texas buyout for leaving early? I get it’ll be less either way.
We shouldn't be in the same category as K-State. We're in a much better situation, from Campbell to basketball to AAU accreditation.
I think we’re more least than moderately. Being AAU is huge in all of this and KU & ISU are the only ones.
You’d think Oklahoma State probably had this same concern with Mike Gundy’s staff. I don’t believe any of the other remaining schools have this issue currently in regards to football with Rhule already gone to the NFL.
If brand recognition will be the factor, admittedly Okie State has more.
But West Virginia is the one I’d contest here. They are in big trouble if Notre Dame picks the ACC. Even if not, poor academics could be a strong knock against them.
I wavered on KSU between moderately worried and very worried. I could see them in the very worried category.
that's an odd comparison of schools to choose, do you think any of those schools would be of lots of value to another conference if they were on the free market?
The most obvious comparison you could use would be Iowa. If Iowa and ISU were reversed and it was Iowa in the Big 12, and ISU were in the Big 10, would you really be out here arguing how great of an addition Iowa would be?
This has forced some of you to lose your damn minds. Yes you and we have better fan support than USC. Guess what, that doesn't mean a ******* thing, anyone would rather have USC.
Right. We have a better shot at the Big 10, if anyone does in our conference.
Plus if the PAC 12 expanded and came down to a decision for either K State or us, have to think they would go with us.
My thoughts on WVU are that between the ACC and SEC I just feel they're likely to end up with a home in one or the other. Totally subjective though.
oh give me a break. So are they heroes because they didn't do the same thing to Vandy, Wake Forrest, Duke, Mississippi State, BC, Northwestern, etc..? We are pissed because they treated the 8 in the big 12 different than they are treating the non blue bloods from the other leagues.
Maybe this has been discussed already, maybe I’m missing something…the financial penalties that ou and Ut face only come into play if they leave before 2025, correct? I keep hearing that the other 8 big 12 schools can’t do anything until 2025 or else ou and ut are off the hook. I see it the other way. If a handful of the remaining schools start making plans to join other conferences in 2025 , ou and Ut are going to see that the remaining 8 serious about playing this thing out for 4 more years.
Wow, the big hawk rube doesn't like ISU. Shocker.
Based on what though? They’re not exactly a super marketable brand either compared to Iowa State. And we have high advantage over them with academics. I don’t think the SEC takes them.
