Texas, Oklahoma reportedly inquired about SEC membership
Texas and Oklahoma have inquired about joining the SEC and an announcement about a possible expansion to 16 teams could come "within a couple weeks," according to a report Wednesday from the Houston Chronicle.
The report raises more questions than answers -- namely, that the Big 12 powers have a grant of rights to that conference that runs through June 30, 2025, the end of that league's current television contracts. Such an arrangement, barring legal jiu jitsu, ties any television monies earned by the two schools to the Big 12 which ostensibly make them worthless to the SEC or any other conference so long as the contract is in place.
