RE: If OU brings BOTH rivals to a new conference
If Texas, Texas tech, OU and OK state joined the pac 12, I could see the big 10 adding Kansas and Missouri with the sec picking up WVU. However, I think if the big 12 gets cracked it’s going to take the sec, pac 12 or big 10 to jump to 18.
PAC 12: Texas, Texas tech, OU, Ok state , KU, x
X most likely Kansas state just to keep politically cool
Big 10: Texas, OU, KU, X
X from the pool of Texas tech, Houston, Missouri or Iowa state. Clearly, Missouri would add the most but if the big 10 can land Texas,ou, and ku I don’t think the last spot is a big concern. I have no doubt Texas tech or Houston would be acceptable either in this case if it’s a requirement to get UT
Sec: Texas, OU, Ok state, x
X from the pool of Kansas, Texas tech or Tulane
Texas would probably want Texas tech unless they have a pac 12 invite. I could also see Texas want Tulane to boost up sec academics. Like the x from the other leagues it really doesn’t matter if the package includes Texas and OU.
