The latest casualty of the pursuit of greed conference realignment officially claimed a big victim as Bedlam is set to die as OU imminently joins the SEC. Both OU’s and OSU’s athletic directors told Brett McMurphy that the series will end with realignment shaking up the Big 12 as we know it. OU is set to leave for the SEC in 2025 (or potentially sooner).
