One big happy family

The Big 12 will add four teams for the 2023 season.  What does that mean for Oklahoma and Texas?  Not much, it sounds like.

On the bright side, now the SEC has more time to fight over conference scheduling.

    Awkward… Feels like a game of chicken. They want out and the Big 12 wants them out – but the $$$ are too far apart. Now, if Oklahoma and Texas trounce everybody; then that might motivate the conference to move a little quicker. But if Oklahoma and Texas struggle – less so, wanting to rub their nose in it a little before they leave.

    Children…

    The Big 12 could add four more by keeping OU and UT and taking back TAMU and Mizzou.
    If they’re good enough we’ll see them in the playoffs.

      I’m still trying to figure why we added Mizzou. TV nope – tradition nope – top notch program nope – geographics’ nope.

        It was probably just because Slive thought Delaney wanted them next. But the B1G fooled everyone (including themselves) when they took Rutgers and Maryland!
        So, at least we don’t have to travel to New Jersey every other season.

        Kansas City and St Louis are pretty big tv markets. And Missouri does border 3 SEC states. All it and TAMU added were tv markets (and tv money). From all standpoints save tv, it was a dumb addition. But tv is all they care about, because if the money. FTMF. Texas and OU will make the conference so unwieldy as to make it not really the SEC any more. There’s a limit to the utility of returns to scale, not that the people who run universities these days understand economics.

        I personally think Basketball had something to do with it

    Does UGA still go to Norman next year? That’s all I care about.

      You’d think we would be getting out of that game since the return game clearly isn’t happening in 2031. But time is getting tight on any changes. Do we make a neutral site game or will the SEC step in? I’m curious.
