On Monday, Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy tried to put about as positive spin as is imaginable on the fact that the Big 12’s two biggest programs are leaving his conference high and dry for greener pastures in the SEC.
First, he acknowledged what everybody already knows about the motives behind the recent news that Oklahoma and Texas are, pending some crazies in the Texas legislature, SEC-bound.
“We can cut this any way we want and say anything we need to say, but essentially it comes down to television revenue, the dollars, and they’re looking to football to see what football has to offer,” Gundy said during before his Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame induction.
