SEC expansion announcement could come next week, but when the move will happen is less clear

According to Chip Brown of Horns247 on Friday morning, the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners plan on informing the Big 12 of their withdrawal on Monday with a vote from the SEC expected shortly thereafter.

The news comes after the Big 12 held a conference call without leaders from Texas and Oklahoma on Thursday, eventually releasing the following statement after the meeting with the remaining eight members:

Oklahoma and Texas are founding members of the Big 12 and we value their traditions and history of success.

- The eight members strongly desire to retain the current composition, which has proven it can compete at the highest levels.
