1---I do not see OU lowering the standards of the SEC. The Big10...yes, but I do not see it with the SEC.

2-- I do not see how Texas is not in play for the Big10.

1. The "Pair" of Oklahoma schools lowers the SEC mean academically. I distinctly said that OU would be around 7th position in the SEC with regards to academics and research. It's OSU at 15th (just above MSU but only by some metrics) that makes the pair of them lower our MEAN.

2. Texas is under obligation to ESPN until 2031 or six years past the GOR. I'm sure that could be negotiated but if ESPN thought the top product might move to a FOX held conference I question ESPN's desire to be cooperative in such a move. Also if Oklahoma headed to the SEC with OSU I'm not sure that Texas would head Big 10 even then. Texas, Kansas, Iowa State and Tech might make a reasonable grouping for the PAC. But certainly all of that is debatable.

I do not know much about the TV contracts, but I thought both FOX and ESPN have contracts with the Big10. I am probably missing something.
