[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3868780, member: 44328"] The difference in how much money each SEC team gets compared to how much money each Big 12 team gets is what is scary. I've said this all along... OU will be competitive in the SEC. They won't win six conference championships in a row, but they will compete. To whatever extent money is a factor, they'll have a lot more of it. And competition with SEC will make them more competitive if/when they do make the playoffs than competition in the Big 12. And recruiting will probably be easier. But... whereas 1-2 losses is a horrible season now, fans may have to adjust to that being more average. Was it a mistake? I dunno... I don't tend to think in those terms because I don't have any choice anyway, so I'll wait and see how it works out. Recovery? The recovery is immediate, estimates are that OU/Texas will receive about $15 million more the first year they are in the SEC. And let's face it, it's ultimately about money for those who make the decisions. P.S. OU's record against SEC teams is actually pretty good, the SEC is very top-heavy. [/QUOTE]
