The Houston Chronicle learned on Wednesday that Texas and Oklahoma — the two flagship programs in the Big 12 — have inquired about the possibility of leaving the Big 12 for the SEC.
The implications of that move would obviously be massive and would send college sports into its first wave of massive realignment in nearly a decade. With just 10 teams currently, it is hard to see any way in which the Big 12 Conference survives a move by its top two members. What that leaves its other eight members to do is anyone’s guess.
Not much is known at this time but neither school has reached out to decline allegations, according to Brian Davis of the Austin American-Statesman and Carson Cunningham of KOCO 5 news.
