Realignment Conpsiracy Theory: OK State
I initially posted this in another thread, but thought it might stand better on its own thread.
I'm mostly just throwing this out there, not sure I believe it would happen, but think it is plausible.
Assumptions:
1) OK wants in the SEC.
2) OK has an easier time going to the SEC if OK State moves with them.
3) The SEC has an easier time accepting OK State if OK State is seen as an elite football school.
So, I'm wondering if we will see some "thrown" games. For instance, if OK beats OK State in the regular season, but has 2 losses and is not playoff team, they might throw the game to allow OK State to be the Big 12 champ. Then when the SEC expands they are expanding with another conferences champ.
The same could be said if ESPN wanted WVU in the SEC for instance, but I'm thinking OK State is higher up on the list for the SEC in order to bring in OK.
Is this feasible? Would a school or a network throw a game to help along their realignment strategy?
