Texas, Oklahoma seceding from Big 12 is giant step toward super conference

Everyone has been waiting for this to happen. The bomb that would eventually rock the college football world was finally launched Wednesday.

It was a combination double-blast out of Austin, Texas, and Norman, Oklahoma, money-seeking missiles that bombarded college football with the potential to create a super power that the Vandys, and Dukes and Rutgers and Baylors of the FBS have been dreading.

As if 2021 has not seen enough shocking change for one year, this blast is bound to reverberate for years and years to come.

According to the Houston Chronicle, which first reported the news Wednesday, Texas and Oklahoma want out of the Big 12 and are seeking asylum in the all-powerful SEC.
