OU, Texas Formally Petition SEC for Membership
Oklahoma and Texas announced on Tuesday in a joint statement that the two schools have sent a joint request to the SEC and its commissioner, Greg Sankey, seeking an invitation for membership in the SEC beginning July 1, 2025.
“We believe that there would be mutual benefit to the Universities on the one hand, and the SEC on the other hand, for the Universities to become members of the SEC,” the statement said. “We look forward to the prospect of discussions regarding this matter.”
The statement was signed by Texas president Jay Hartzell and OU president Joseph Harroz, Jr.
