My point is if the SEC was going to expand they weren’t going to do it with just one team. They were going to do it with two and go with an even 16. If they were taking on two more they were going to take two major programs. They weren’t going to take OU and whatever lesser program they could get, so OU needed a major partner to make the deal happen. That’s why OU didn’t do it with Ok state which politically would of been easier for them. Problem is that wouldn’t of been good enough for the SEC to make the move.Hate to burst yer bubble brother but no. Sec wanted a powerhouse football program. They got it with OU, just today's circumstances. Now for the richest program in the country to follow? $$$$$$$$$. Sec won/won. Espn did also. Now I'm not bashin horn, talkin a little shit maybe, but your program has needed to pick it up since Mack left and the two turds that followed him. And let's face it, Sark's yet to coach a game for you guys, everyone here knows this. I was pissed at first when news broke we were makin that move to the sec because for years I hated all things sec. Why fight the inevitable though. This move, in my opinion, elevates both programs no doubt about it. OU's rollin and are already out of the gate. You guys will pick up. Hopefully soon.
I’m not trying to say OU isn’t a power program. I’m saying they needed a equal partner to make this move happen
