Three and a half weeks ago, the college football world got turned upside down by the news Oklahoma and Texas were leaving the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference.
The news sent the other four conferences in the Power 5 in different directions, trying to figure out what was best for their member institutions and what it could possibly mean for the future of the sport.
Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby immediately went on the defensive and is now possibly trying to form some kind of correlation with the American Athletic Conference in an attempt to save the Big 12 Conference.
