I do not consider one UT alum as the gospel on what will happen.

You are right. I do not hang around any UT alums, but I here talk like this and see the advantages that UT has, I can see UT having the upper hand.

UT makes more money than any college team and they may well have the best situation in all of college football. However, that does not mean they have the upper hand and that nothing will happen regarding realignment.

IMO OU is the team that will make the first move and the question will be, what does Texas do? If OU receives an invitation to the Big10 will Texas go with them? What if OU accepts an invitation to the SEC?

Texas needs OU in the Big12. If OU leaves, Texas will be forced to do something. So maybe Texas needs OU more than OU needs Texas. They played the RRR game for over 50 years when they were in different conferences. Neither team will end that game, because it means too much to both teams.

Both Texas and Oklahoma will remain in the B12 and keep it together. It still remains the easiest path to the play off and both are making good money while dominating and running the conference.

If the CFP expands with autobids for conference champions the Big 12 & Pac 12 may be forced to expand so the conferences have the same number of members.
