Could Oklahoma and Texas joining the SEC spur Pac-12 expansion?

By now you’ve probably seen the reports about Oklahoma and Texas petitioning to join the SEC. It would be a seismic move that could create a domino effect on the other major conferences.

Without its two premier schools, the Big 12 could dissolve and put its other eight schools on the market for a new conference. And while Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff said recently that the Conference of Champions isn’t looking to expand, he wouldn’t rule it out, either.

“I consider the Pac-12 an exclusive club with a high barrier to entry,” Kliavkoff said (via ESPN).
