As administrators from across the Big 12 joined a conference call to discuss Wednesday's bombshell report that flagship members Texas and Oklahoma are seeking to leave the league for the SEC, there were two notable absences: Texas and Oklahoma.
Neither school had a representative on the call, per SI's Ross Dellenger, which was set up to discuss Wednesday's news that the two schools had reached out to the SEC about changing conferences. Though they were not in attendance, they remained the center of discussion.
Other Big 12 administrators are fixated on learning why Texas and Oklahoma want to leave, and plan on reaching out to representatives from each school.
