Oklahoma is currently working on petitioning to enter the SEC, but must find another university to enter the league with them, sources said.
I read that, but don't understand the rationale there. If they want the Texas market, then it's easy to identify the candidates.
I guess what I'm saying is that if I'm the SEC and I want to expand with OU, I wouldn't need them to find a partner for me. I would go straight to Miami, Florida State or Clemson (or TCU, of course!).
I'm pretty sure one of those would bite...
And if they want the Texas market, Texas Tech doesn't need to be persuaded by OU to go to the SEC (neither would Baylor, Houston or anyone else). aTm's off the table in this scenario because they are hitched to their butt buddies at UT. Otherwise, it would have already been a package deal with OU/aTm.
