[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 3610784, member: 4333"] I think there are still some hurdles to this that may keep it from happening. If you were around for the demise of the Southwest Conference in the 90s, you may recall that some didn't want Baylor in the new league and the politically-connected Baptists got Baylor in the new league. Those forces still exist and could yet have their say on the "deal". In OK, you may recall some rumblings several years back on OU going to the PAC-12. Legislative leaders and the Regents put the kibosh to that happening unless OSU was included and I don't think we've heard much from those corners on this "deal". It all may yet happen as the sports mavens say but I'm maintaining my skeptical mindset until more of the political powers have spoken. [/QUOTE]
