OU board saying ESPN trying to get OU and Texas to SEC with millions more money

Where do I sign?

I hope it happens.

I’m still down. Plus no way OU and Texas go. They hold all the cards.

Right. They're big fish. No need to get curb-stomped by Bama until the playoffs

A while ago they talked about OU and TX to SEC on Bama radio. They said TX A&M

That would be a bad move for OU and Texas.

Trade Missouri for OU.

They want Mizzu. Good to beat OOC but not good enough to beat the best in SEC

Mizzou probably prefers to go back. They are going back for wrestling already.

The UT clause (if true) is absolutely a little brother move by A&M

I could definitely see BYU being asked to join a gutted Big XII. I don't know if BYU should do that if OU and Texas bail

SpiffCoug

Yes BYU still does that in a heartbeat. The money would still be too much to

Yeah. I guess that's probably a better football home at a minimum with K-St, WVU, TT, OSU, Iowa St, & Baylor still there

SpiffCoug

5/13/21 8:14am

This line of thinking is exactly why BYU isn't currently in the Big XII

reddead

Thats assuming a gutted BIG XII stays P5...

I think the four remaining conferences would love to go from a P5 to P4.

SpiffCoug

They will for a while hopefully long enough for BYU to get to another P5.

Nope; that's flawed reasoning, and it badly burned BYU within the last 10 years

reddead

Nothing will happen until they figure what the future playoff will look like.

Why would they leave the BIG XII to be the new guys in the PAC, which is paying

BYU Grounds

Given geography, I'm not sure BYU would be the top choice to add for Big12

Football-wise, that looks like a garbage conference. Does it keep P5 status?

DoseOfReality

Who decides if a conference is a "power conference" or not?

mwcoug

5/13/21 9:57am

At this point I believe it is the bowl/playoff selection committee.

DoseOfReality

5/13/21 10:06am

But what's the criteria now? Name brand of school? Average ranking?

mwcoug

5/13/21 10:08am

Conferences (Teams) that have contracts with Rose, Sugar and Orange are P5

BYUFam1

5/13/21 10:22am

Kansas basketball alone probably keeps them the P5 designation.

Kajdin

5/13/21 9:58am

Whoever has Texas is the P5 Conference

Overall quality isn't the issue, it is the lack of a traditional big name power

Down grade in BB from GU to KS LOL 😮

Money and prestige
