Let’s be realistic- losing UT and OU would be the end of the Big XII. There are no teams in the most optimistic of scenarios that would even come close to replacing schools like UT and OU. Even bringing in Cincy, BYU, Houston, Memphis and some Florida schools- the conference would pale compared to what we once were. We would be a watered down conference and no longer worthy of a P5 distinctio
Our best bet would be to catch on somewhere else with one of the other remaining P5’s. This can’t be good for recruiting right now either…uncertainty of any type is never helpful. I can only imagine what OU and UT are telling kids during visits.
My trust is in Jamie Pollard- he has been good at positioning us for the next step and I know he has a plan in place.
