Earlier today Brent Zwerneman of the Houston Chronicle reported that Texas and Oklahoma reached out to the SEC about leaving the conference.
Texas’ statement: “Speculation swirls around collegiate athletics. We will not address rumors or speculation.”
OU’s statement: “The college athletics landscape is shifting constantly. We don’t address every anonymous rumor.”
With those horrendous non-denials, it seems fairly apparent the duo are looking to bolt the Big 12.
In 2016, I was one of the few people that predicted the Big 12 would not expand. I also argued that Baylor had to oppose Houston’s bid to join the league because Baylor would have elevated Houston if the next round of realignment occurred.
