SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey released a statement about the schools' request:
SEC presidents and chancellors will reportedly hold a meeting Thursday to discuss the logistics of potentially adding Oklahoma and Texas to become a 16-team "super-conference."
The meeting will come on the heels of Oklahoma and Texas formally requesting membership beginning in July 2025, when their media-rights agreements with the Big 12 have concluded.
