Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

Read the story and that eggplant will shrink right up

Yeah major shrinkage:

"While these plans are still in the works, it does appear the Big 12 will not be included in the alliance. Last week, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby met with Kliavkoff to discuss potential options for a strategic alliance. The Big 12 is currently exploring options to preserve its future after Texas and Oklahoma exit."

Looks like G5 is our fate.

We are so screwed

We are so screwed

Probably so. At this point I'm not going to get all worried about something that appears to be out of ISU's control. If we end up with American/Mountain West schools then I just have to hope that maybe we can dominate that League we are in. Biggest thing though is would Campbell want to stick around if that was where we ended up?

My one last chance for hopeless optimism.

Our only hope is that the other conferences will add members and create the big 4 conferences. Otherwise, no bueno.

I doubt it

If we’re a Mountain West school, we can’t afford the salary we’re paying Campbell right now.

You’re really dumb.

Hawk troll. Just ignore him.

I know. But how pathetic is his life?

Hey now, don’t be mean. He probably just finished a long shift at Taco John’s and is on his way to get blitzed at East Side Night. Living the dream.

Wow trolling Cyfan is lthe highlight of his existence.

You’re really dumb.

Its not wrong.

Also even if campbell does want to stay, keeping the rest of the staff here will be a tough thing.

 

[NDMARTIN2015]

Well, P5 status was fun while it lasted lol

No, Campbell will leave there isn’t anything that can be done to stop that

. That guy is dumb for being a hawk fan trolling an Iowa State site on a Friday night. It’s like he’s telling the world he’s a friendless incel

 

[ImperialCyclone]

Hey, at least we don’t have to wait years trying to get a life boat. It’s clear where the remaining Big 12 schools stand. Hopefully we can keep Campbell m, but that isn’t looking likely. It’s been a fun ride.

Lol

Yep. We can still have good athletic teams but there will be some tough decisions/cuts for the Department that will have to be made.

 

[cyclonehomer]

Someone convince me that there's anything left to hope for, I'll cling to any strands I can grasp.

 

[Trice]

If this report really is the end game, I don't get why the B1G and ACC would work with the Pac-12 on this. There's like one and a half brands there that are worth the logistical hassles, time zone challenges, and lack of interest from their own fan bases to make this worth their while.

It's totally wild to me how much this entire thing is driven by who, by pure chance, was in a conference 100 years ago that happens to be safe now rather than the actual market value of these teams.
