Conference realignment rumor season is back, baby, and whoo boy did it go from zero to 100 quick. Real quick.
The Houston Chronicle reported Wednesday that both OU and Texas have “reached out to the Southeastern Conference about potentially joining the powerful league,” citing a “high-ranking college official with knowledge of the situation.” An announcement concerning the potential addition of the two teams to the league, according to the Chronicle, could “come within a couple weeks.”
The additions would give the SEC a 16-team super-conference.
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey was asked at SEC media days Wednesday about the situation and declined comment.
