These sources are just reaching like alot of these Cags that try to PM two deals at stores. It just isn't happening. SEC already stated this year they are staying put.
The Big 12 core...
- Texas - not going anywhere. They have all the exposure they need and want.
- Oklahoma/Oklahoma St - not going anywhere without each other and Texas. Since Texas aint moving, these would say.
With the core, the rest of the conference will stick it out. The Big 12 has options to expand if they want. They could grab programs like Houston, Tulsa, and Rice.
All that would possibly happen is Texas A&M leaves the conference and essentially lose all the money as being part of the Big 12. SEC isn't taking them so they would essentially be independent. They were decent last year. The previous years they have been bottom feeders (2009 - 6 wins, 2008 - 4 wins). The SEC is about strength in football. Logically, what would the SEC benefit from possibly taking on this team?
