Boren: "I think we're really looking ahead at a whole wave of realignment as these (TV) contracts come to an end.. 4 or 5 years away from it

Guerin Emig‏Verified account @GuerinEmig
Boren: "I haven't wanted us to extend our grant of rights by 20 years or something like that so that OU would have no choices."

Guerin Emig‏Verified account @GuerinEmig
Boren: "Very important to always have the possibility of making a move if we want to, but assure you we don't have any plans to make a move"

Guerin Emig‏Verified account @GuerinEmig
Boren: "I don't disagree with the thought that it's in our interest that the Big 12 succeed. So no, we're not desperate to go anywhere else"

Guerin Emig‏Verified account @GuerinEmig
Boren: "Question is are you in a conference that's going to have a chance to play for national championships and going to be in playoffs?"

Guerin Emig‏Verified account @GuerinEmig
Boren on Big 12: "Financially, it's not a great hardship, frankly... What we're getting per school is not really out of line with others"

Guerin Emig‏Verified account @GuerinEmig
Boren: "We’re in pretty stable position w/ the Big 12, and I don’t look till 4 or 5 yrs from now for all these things to become fluid again"

Guerin Emig‏Verified account @GuerinEmig
Boren on Big Ten: "I would say AAU membership itself might not be what decides (OU isn't AAU), but your academic reputation matters."
