No guru, but it depends on HOW the Big XII dissolves (if they dissolve) IMO


All I know is that it is much more complicated than any of us can even think of. 2 Oklahoma, 2 Kansas and maybe 2 Texas schools are tied together. Then there is academic perception by other conferences and the real issue of geography.

TV deals, cable networks, etc have a big play in all of this, but there is much more than just ESPN playing puppet master. And I'm not 100% sure ESPN is controlling UT as much as everyone thinks. HOO86 linked the LHN Contract several posts below, and it's not as strapped down as we all think. All the conferences are in play with UT IMO, with or without the LHN. The real question is, what is UT going to do and how are they going to manipulate everyone in the end?

But if OU is serious about leaving and needs the Houston area, then the SEC makes the most sense, since aTm is already there and the SEC would probably find OK State acceptable. But this may not happen for a decade.
