OU president says Sooners will decide conference affiliation soon
NORMAN, Okla. | University of Oklahoma president David Boren said Friday that multiple conferences have shown interest in the Sooners and he expects to decide whether to leave the Big 12 within the next three weeks.
Boren said Friday that he has received “interest from other conferences and other universities, so it's really a tribute to the strength of our program at the University of Oklahoma that there is so much interest in us.”
Boren said Oklahoma will carefully evaluate its options and suggested the process could take as little as three days but likely no longer than three weeks.
Texas A&M announced this week that it planned to leave the Big 12 after this season, assuming the Aggies are accepted into the Southeastern Conference. That would reduce the 10-team league to nine members
