The SEC will officially become college football’s first superconference in 2025.
According to a statement from the office in Birmingham, Ala., the Southeastern Conference unanimously voted (14-0) to add the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma. Both schools will be effective to join the conference on July 1, 2025.
Per the press release, competition in sports for both schools will begin the 2025-26 academic year. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey communicated the invitations to the presidents of both institutions.
“Today’s unanimous vote is both a testament to the SEC’s longstanding spirit of unity and mutual cooperation, as well as a recognition of the outstanding legacies of academic and athletic excellence established by the Universities of Oklahoma and Texas,” said Commissioner Sankey.
