Happy Tuesday, friends and fans!
One day after announcing their intentions not to renew their status as members of the Big 12 Conference, the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns each submitted formal requests for future SEC membership.
Shortly following the news of OU and UT’s membership request, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey released a statement explaining how the university presidents and chancellors will soon convene to consider the formal applications from Oklahoma and Texas. Per Southeastern Conference bylaws, at least three fourths (min. 11 schools) of the current 14-team league must vote yes in order to welcome any new applicants into the SEC.
