What would Okie State do? Are they just letting OU make the decision and following them?

If OU is divorcing Texas (which I still don't buy) I expect the Pac 12 to go after Texas, Tech, KU and ????

My guess - they are thinking, "let's get ourselves in a stable conference and let the legislatures work out the storied rivalries". That's what is going to happen with UT & Tammy. I'm sure UT & OU will never go away

If last year was any indication, Pollard won't say a word until the smoke either clears, or he's the new AD at Wisky

He already spoke out about A&M this past week. Said he didn't know what was going to happen with A&M which told me they were as good as gone.

Okie State.

They're not joined at the hip. If this does indeed happen I think you'll find all schools are going to look out what's best for them, especially OU/OSU, KU/KSU.

No, you missed my point. If OU goes to the sec then the PAC won't want osu. The only way osu goes to the PAC is with OU. If OU does it's own thing, osu could be as ****ed as us.

In some states, that aren't Iowa, the regents are more concerned with the success of the whole university system rather than one school and won't allow one school to bolt and leave the other hung out to dry. OU/OSU and KU/KSU are package deals.

That I did. But if the SEC jumps to 14, you know damn well that the PAC is going to as well. Can you name two other teams who are greater than OSU? Certainly not Kansas, K state or Tech.

Poster just said that OU and OSU are governed by different BOR

Is there a Mizzou official on the big twelve board? Maybe he hitched a ride with OU and gave A&M there walking papers?

Yes, I understand that. But there are some situations where things of that nature get tossed out the window. I think this is probably one of them.
