If this happens the only chance of KU staying in a power 5 would be the Big ten and with the way our football team has been I'm not sure anyone would want us.

lol KU going to a mid major is a MU fantasy porn, it always was and always will be.

I would guess...

kansas to the B1G as it adds 2 more (not sure who the next one would be... would guess B1G targets UNC again, also Virginia).

Everyone else? Probably kinda effed and end up in a leftovers conferences with the ACC remnants.

K-State and Iowa State are the ones who are screwed


Man UT will always be all about UT but Oklahoma can **** themselves

It seems unclear why the SEC, specifically the individual schools would want to add Texas and OU.

They just signed a new 10 year media deal that goes into effect in 2024.

Texas and OU don’t add any significant new TV markets or recruiting areas to the conference.

From an on-field football perspective it’s just going to add to the degree of difficulty in navigating an already tough conference schedule.

And Texas Tech and Oklahoma State and West Virgina and TCU and Baylor.

Big 12 won't die off. It's still got brand name and NCAA credits out the ass. It will reload with the AAC schools.

I wonder how much more money UT and OU would stand to make in the SEC. Can't really see any other reason to jump ship. In the BIG 12 they are the big dogs and can call the shots. They won't have that in the SEC.

Oklahoma has been in the Big 8 or whatever it was called back then since 1919.



I hope they get their shit pushed in by Alabama every year from here to eternity.

Sure.

West Virginia
TCU
Baylor
Texas Tech
Kansas State
Iowa State
Oklahoma State

+...

Cincinnati?
Houston?
BYU?

That's still a decidedly second-tier conference in hoops and football.

The ACC might lose a school or 2 to the B1G (because if the SEC goes to a 16-team super conference, leaving kansas' prestigious basketball program available, it makes sense for the B1G to gobble that up and find and expansionary partner, which likely ends up being North Carolina or Virginia or someone in the ACC northern footprint).

If the ACC is left in that spot, it then might be willing to open its doors to the Big 12 left-behinds, though there aren't any great cultural fits there.

That's still the best non power league at that point. Those conferences just don't die. Their status does, but they don't. MVC is the original Big 8. Southern Conference is the original SEC and ACC. Hell the WAC couldn't even die.

The Southwest Conference probably thought the same thing, before a Texas-led exodus killed it off.

Some really interesting stuff on this over at PM….

I think it’s 100% happening and Mizzou will vote yes, A&M will be the only no.

I don't think the SEC cares about potentially making their conference schedule harder even if it means not expanding their TV market share and recruiting footprint.

Voted for the dumbest post of the day...
