RE: Would UT and OU consider switching to the B1G?

Similar or better money than the B1G (depending on who signed their deal last), better local rivals with Texas A&M, LSU, & Arkansas being in-conference rivals for both. Additional great matchups vs Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida, and even Tennessee (when they get good). The only benefit I see would be academic, but academics are not sufficient to reverse a move like the one they just made.
Academics don't matter. Being in the Big Ten doesn't make your university better academically. OU and UT made the clearly best choice when they opted for the SEC, knowing that the Big Ten would also take them. It still is.
