[QUOTE="Charleston Mountie, post: 129488945, member: 1427666"] While there are several aspects of the topic that we agree upon, Oklahoma leaving is where are diametric. You point out all of the conferences Oklahoma might have a certain level of appeal, but you do not go further. Does Oklahoma want to be the West Virginia of the Pac-12; a conference that is no better off than is the Big-12 except for the stability brought to it by having 12 members vice 10. Does Oklahoma want to be somewhere around the 5th or 6th recognized school in a conference compared to be 1 or 2 in the Big-12? Does Oklahoma want to go to the Big Ten and be an also ran up there for the next 25 years? Remember, Penn State joined the Big Ten in 1993 and after the first two superb years using her non-Big Ten recruits, she has not been heard from except in the courtroom drama. Penn State was a giant before it joined the Big Ten, now it is a school few attach any glory that are under 35. Oklahoma does not need to jump conferences for money. A the few million dollars more is a matter of how thick the icing is on the cake and nothing more. Oklahoma does not need to jump for recruiting, obviously. Oklahoma does not need to jump for academics as those will not change for a very long time - read that as 30 years or more when everyone involved is either retired or dead. Oklahoma does not need as a matter of pride. Oklahoma has one issue, Texas. Oklahoma has to ask itself if it is worth cutting their nose off to spite their face by moving to get away from Texas as other's have done. Is Nebraska happy in the Big Ten? Colorado in the Pac-12? Missouri can't be happy anywhere, so they do not count. Is aTm happy in the SEC. Of all of them only aTm can be classified as happy, but those people are weird. I neither think Oklahoma can move or wants too. What they want to do is drive expansion and force the issue and they are pounding the table and bluffing that they will leave. They do not have an exit plan or an opening to move into. The GOR locks them down for the next ten years. It is pointless to raise the impending doom of an Oklahoma exit because all it is, is fear mongering and without a single point of merit. [/QUOTE]
