in realignment.

Which will result in OU going to the SEC or PAC and the rest of the Big 12 teams scrambling for a place at the big kid's table.

All another reason Nebraska, Colorado, A&M, and Mizzou were so smart to get the hell out when they could.

Yes, the 16 team playoff is inevitable because it makes - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/20 12:19:56

OU and Okie Lite will join next round of realignment... - withUmizzou MU - 9/20 10:34:43

The SEC would never take Ok State. Ever. (nm) - zounami MU - 9/20 19:55:36

No chance. Why would ou want no path to the playoffs? - Gary P. MU - 9/20 14:09:09

Exactly - the Big 12 obsessed bashers don't - Genco98 MU - 9/20 12:51:16

I think Texas going independent is the next domino to fall - Eggs MU - 9/20 10:51:17

Nope the B12 will just add either SMU or NM, but OU will - MU-TULSA MU - 9/20 15:14:00

That has been the talk since 2011. - ERB KC - 9/20 11:50:27

True. Just have a feeling it will happen at some point(nm) - Eggs MU - 9/20 11:57:57

I'm with you. it's when not if. - phrejd MU

- 9/20 11:59:20

You could very well be right. Texans have been talking - SSN 780 MU - 9/20 11:26:43

Why would Texas go independent? They are basically - TheWildcat STL - 9/20 11:22:52

Money (not having to share it), flexible scheduling, - Eggs MU - 9/20 11:51:17

How so? I’m not current with UT’s latest intrigue. (nm) - SSN 780 MU - 9/20 11:27:58

I don't understand the question (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 9/20 11:28:41

How is UT basically forcing ND to join a conference? - SSN 780 MU - 9/20 11:33:20

If by “they” you meant the NCAA, I understand your point, - SSN 780 MU - 9/20 11:49:13

Need to add Clemson & Florida State to the conference. - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/20 10:29:26

I think it's much more likely to add NC State and Va Tech - Genco98 MU - 9/20 12:42:45

SEC won't add schools already in their TV market footprint(nm) - withUmizzou MU - 9/20 10:36:35

That's a very cable TV mindset - Danny Whizzbang USA - 9/20 12:10:47

40 mil a year says it is(nm) - JimD MU - 9/20 14:28:58

Despite you contradicting yourself in this thread, - alwaysright MU - 9/20 16:35:01

Comprehension. I didn’t contradict myself - JimD MU - 9/20 16:57:33

You can’t say it’s all about cable, and then say - alwaysright MU - 9/20 18:31:52

Those two things are completely self-consistent - JimD MU - 9/21 09:33:04

My original post had nothing to do with OU/OkieState. - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/20 17:55:28

The SEC has, actually, repeatedly attempted to add those - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/20 10:42:34

Every member has to approve the invite, UF and USCe will - ShowMeKid MU - 9/20 12:53:34

Not even $20M more per year from media revenue?(nm) - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/20 12:57:45

No, and no chance at adding that much revenue - JimD MU - 9/20 14:28:01

The last number I made up was that HCs were easily worth - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/20 16:00:58

I think that the SEC has a policy that if a school declines - SSN 780 MU - 9/20 11:30:32

Then they should take FSU. Especially now while the - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/20 11:55:41

Despite the changes in the cable TV factor, a school in - alwaysright MU - 9/20 16:36:59

It's foolish to make decisions based on geography. This is - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/20 17:09:12

which is the crux of why realignment is awful for fans - McMuffin MU - 9/20 10:38:55

LSU and A&M would love that (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/20 10:17:17

Duke and N. Carolina good football, makes SEC best bbal - Tigergrad MU - 9/20 10:53:24

That would be great, but according to fans of other ACC - SSN 780 MU - 9/20 11:44:05

N. Carolina and Va Tech. Expand the footprint (nm) - TigerJackSwartz MU

- 9/20 10:58:25

NC St and Va Tech much more likely - alwaysright MU - 9/20 15:46:18
