Just curious, Big...do you think they were afraid of the competition in the SEC, or of what they perceive as leaving their lifeline -- both UTw and the state of Texas?
Or was it that the Oklahoma legislature wouldn't allow it without including OSU, a package deal to which the SEC would never agree?
I'll never understand why so many of the Sooners think they can't remain competitive without being in the same conference as Texas. I think they should tell UTw to take a hike, leaving them to their lion's share of an ever-shrinking pie.
That said, I'm not sure what prevented the move. I have to believe that, given a choice, the SEC would choose Oklahoma over Mizzou every time.
