[QUOTE="VaultHunter, post: 129563552, member: 1391300"] I think Texas and OU might be just a little bit delusional. Why would you go from being a Big Fish in a smaller pond to being a medium fish in a bigger pond. Let's say OU leaves to go to the SEC. They then compete against Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, who are arguably just as good as programs as Oklahoma. Same with Texas if they went to say the Big10 then they compete with Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State. Oklahoma and Texas are both elite programs but it's been 10+ years since either won a National Championship in football. It's ego both see themselves as Alabama and they are not. Ask Nebraska how that move to the Big10 has paid off. Obviously well for money but personally I would rather have success and a little less money than tons more money and less success. The thing that worries me most is Oklahoma wants 1 thing and Texas wants something completely different. I don't see Oklahoma doing any favors for Texas or Texas doing what Oklahoma wants. I'm worried WVU's status will be determined by Texas and OUs rivalry and be caught in the middle. If both leave more will leave than just those 2 and the Big12 dies. What does WVU do then? [/QUOTE]
