Oklahoma President David Boren got the ball rolling when he spoke out in support of expanding the Big 12 back to 12 teams. Now published reports are stating that OU was one of four Big 12 schools that had more than casual discussions with the Big 10 in 2010, when Nebraska left the conference.
You see where all of this is heading. It’s been unavoidable. For better or worse the conference realignment wheel won’t stop until we’ve arrived at four 16 team super conferences and everyone who gets left out will become all but irrelevant in the national consciousness.
