Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 4014505, member: 1737"] Kirk Bohls@kbohls · 5h I'm told Texas A&M and Missouri would be a hard no. Only 2 more needed to block an invitation to Texas, OU. Frank the Tank@frankthetank111 The thought that anyone in the SEC would vote against adding Texas and Oklahoma (outside of maybe Texas A&M in order to superficially placate their alums) is insane to me. This would be the greatest conference realignment heist ever and I say that as a Big Ten guy. Pete Thamel@PeteThamel · 2h Spoke to a few more sources about OU-Texas to the SEC. Few things. They are tied tightly together. A&M's very public objections are the strongest, and getting 11 of the 14 votes doesn't appear to be an issue. Things could move quickly. More soon here.....

Now that everyone knows that Oklahoma and Texas are willing to move alone, the Big Ten would swoop in if the SEC doesn’t close this deal. Greg Sankey is difference here - he’s the alpha dog in college sports Gassman3268@Gassman3268 · 31m Replying to @frankthetank111 What do you think the Big 10 does? They have to make a counter move, right? Frank the Tank@frankthetank111 · 27m Really hard to say. I think the Big Ten likes Kansas, but it’s unclear whether there’s anyone else that makes sense to add with them unless it’s a harder ACC raid. Maybe an odd number of members isn’t relevant if leagues decide that divisions aren’t required for CCGs anymore. Mark Kochenderfer@MarkKochenderfe · 25m Replying to @frankthetank111 I can’t believe Kansas adds enough value to the big 10 to even pay for itself alone. Frank the Tank@frankthetank111 · 22m Remember that KU’s third tier rights deal is 2nd largest in the Big 12 after the Longhorn Network (even more than OU). There are few basketball schools that can move the needle in Power 5 realignment, but Kansas is one of them. BTN is highly dependent on the hoops product. [/QUOTE]
