[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129500433, member: 1428007"] OU is one of the top brands in college football. One of the winningest programs in history of college football. They have told the conference that if changes are not made, they aren't content to sit back in this conference like the others. It would be foolish to assume that if nothing is done, they aren't going to make moves when it becomes financially feasible. 2024-2025 isn't that far away. Between now and then things are going to get bleak if comprehensive changes aren't adopted. Boren is doing what he's doing because he wants OU to remain in a BIG 12 that is stable and at the top financially and competitively long term, not in its present state of disadvantage to the other P5 conferences or considered the weakest of the five. The conference needs to get itself out of reactive mode and be proactive to be successful. If not, those that can are going to move on when they can. There are several schools that can improve the conference financially and competitively whether someone labels them as "urban commuter schools" or not. None of the candidates are that.. [/QUOTE]
