New Conference re-alignment thread

The old one has AIDS.

Anyways, Chip Brown from Orangebloods.com reports OU may apply to the Pac-12 by the end of the month.

Oklahoma will apply for membership to the Pac-12 before the end of the month, and Oklahoma State is expected to follow suit, a source close to OU's administration told Orangebloods.com.

Even though Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said Friday the Pac-12 was not interested in expansion at this time, OU's board of regents is fed up with the instability in the Big 12, the source said.

The OU board of regents will meet within two weeks to formalize plans to apply for membership to the Pac-12, the source said.

Messages left Sunday night with OU athletic director Joe Castiglione and Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder were not immediately returned.

If OU follows through with what appears to be a unanimous sentiment on the seven-member Oklahoma board of regents to leave the Big 12, realignment in college athletics could be heating back up. OU's application would be matched by an application from Oklahoma State, the source said, even though OSU president Burns Hargis and mega-booster Boone Pickens both voiced their support for the Big 12 last Thursday.

There is differing sentiment about if the Pac-12 presidents and chancellors are ready to expand again after bringing in Colorado and Utah last year and landing $3 billion TV contracts from Fox and ESPN. Colorado president Bruce Benson told reporters last week CU would be opposed to any expansion that might bring about east and west divisions in the Pac-12.

Currently, there are north and south divisions in the Pac-12. If OU and OSU were to join, Larry Scott would have to get creative.

Scott's orginal plan last summer was to bring in Colorado, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and put them in an eastern division with Arizona and Arizona State. The old Pac-8 schools (USC, UCLA, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State) were to be in the west division.

Colorado made the move in June 2010, but when Texas A&M was not on board to go west, the Big 12 came back together with the help of its television partners (ABC/ESPN and Fox).

If Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were accepted into the Pac-12, there would undoubtedly be a hope by Larry Scott that Texas would join the league. But Texas sources have indicated UT is determined to hang onto the Longhorn Network, which would not be permissible in the Pac-12 in its current form.

Texas sources continue to indicate to Orangebloods.com that if the Big 12 falls apart, the Longhorns would consider "all options."

Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe held an emergency conference call 10 days ago with league presidents excluding Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M and asked the other league presidents to "work on Texas" because Beebe didn't think the Pac-12 would take Oklahoma without Texas.

Now, it appears OU is willing to take its chances with the Pac-12 with or without Texas.

There seemed to be a temporary pause in any possible shifting of the college athletics' landscape when Baylor led a charge to tie up Texas A&M's move to the Southeastern Conference in legal red tape. BU refused to waive its right to sue the SEC over A&M's departure from the Big 12, and the SEC said it would not admit Texas A&M until it had been cleared of any potential lawsuits.

Baylor, Kansas and Iowa State have indicated they will not waive their right to sue the SEC.

It's unclear if an application by OU to the Pac-12 would draw the same threats of litigation against the Pac-12 from those Big 12 schools.

Stay tuned.

You talking about schools whoring themselves out is as funny as anything anyone posts around here.

Mizzou is the free use school for the real SEC schools.

Yeah, it's pretty well known the only reason the SEC took Missouri was to balance out taking A&M while Missouri was begging any conference that would listen they wanted out from under Texas'/OU's thumb... and that they're the red headed stepchild of the conference if you talk to fans of any other SEC team.

Any time I see some random "what's the worst/most regrettable decision of conference realignment" pop up on social media, Missouri is immediately mentioned.

Hell, if Missouri was really SEC-worthy, why the hell would so many of their fans spend so much time comparing themselves to poor little Kansas. I seriously doubt OU and Texas will spend the next decade talking about KU.

Pulling an article from 2012...and rants on a BB from 2017 and 2018 from guys who are old school SEC? I hear it all the time living in the heart of SEC country...and yet at the end of the year they all have to backtrack because MU is better than predicted most of the time.

Most of us only reference KU when the Hawk's fans come in to chide us about being the "after thought" of the SEC...

I compare us to how the other SEC schools are doing....and yes we have had down years (almost all the time in BB) but MU is doing fine raking in SEC money and building a FB program that will compete in the SEC...the best football conference in the nation, not against the also-ran conference that just lost 2 of the key members.

No one compares themselves to ku as terrible as your hockey takes. Good thing you don't talk football I'd call you B Willie.

Nothing ever changes. MU fans acting like they are some good program when they cried about having to potentially play us in a bowl game last year.

The only reason anyone at MU complained was because we had a much better record and would be playing down to our opponent from a ranking perspective.

We deserved better than to have to play you.

They're under .500 against the Big 12 since leaving that pathetic conference, so can you really blame them.

There's nothing they can do to shake that mutt stink off of them. They'll never belong in the SEC culturally or athletically, but they feel big when daddy Bama lets them walk around the house in his boots.

Imagine if Bills fans clamped onto the nuts of Tom Brady for 2 decades because they were success-adjacent. AFC East! AFC East!

Hey, if that's what you want to tell yourself, go for it. I just can't imagine ever being scared to play MU in anything. Maybe wrestling, cheerleading or track.

How embarrassing would it be to prop your team up by claiming conference success.
