Texas-Oklahoma reach out to SEC

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

It's certainly entertaining and at least SMU is better positioned to find a seat at a decent table this time around. We just aren't going to be a part of any 4 super conference scenario featuring the most attractive 64 teams but there could be a pretty attractive group of leftovers to compete against

We are definitely in a much better position now and I am sure Rick Hart has been working the rooms pretty hard over the past few years.

I am not too worried. We may end up in a better situation than we are currently in by sharing a conference with Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech, etc. We may end up just as we are or in an intact AAC or we could land in a different but similar situation if the Big XII adds Houston, Cincinnati, Memphis, and UCF by reaching out to the Mountain West. Playing in the Mountain West would not be too different from out current schedule (yes it would be a downgrade but nothing too drastic so I would be ok with that.

No kiddin'. Pretty sure he's been bustin' his ars.

Oh and for the record, another conference realignment thread means another kitten has died. Hopefully, this is the last round.

with all due respect surly you jest. More likely he has spent his time trying to figure out a 're-seat' to drive away fball fans like he did with the bball program and also conjuring up a new contract for our pseudo bball coach.
Where we land in the new realignment process will be very indicative of his real abilities as an AD.

Does anyone remember that one rumor from rivals I think it was that SMU was going to the SEC.
