Texas Football: 3 Big 12 teams that should also leave for the SEC

The breaking news report that has the entirety of the Big 12 talking on the afternoon of July 21 involves the Texas football program and Oklahoma Sooners apparently considering a move to leave the conference for the SEC. The original report came from the Houston Chronicle on July 21, detailing that Texas and Oklahoma are in discussions to see about leaving the Big 12 for the SEC.

What the exact timeline and effects would be from this move are yet to be known. And if this is something that will be drawn out over the course of weeks and/or months is also unknown at this moment. But we do know that this is a report that was not going to slip under the radar.

Texas football and OU could once again shake-up conference realignment

The Big 12 can’t seem to ever stay out of the conference realignment talk for long. Since the Big 12 lost four teams to three various conferences roughly one decade ago, the talks of expansion and/or further realignment doesn’t ever stay out of the limelight for too long.

Multiple reports came down after this initial exclusive from the Houston Chronicle. A report later in the afternoon of July 21 from Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports indicated that SEC commissioner Greg Sankey didn’t really give any insight into how these discussions are playing out, or if they are at all right now.

Reactions were abundant from around the college football landscape on social media. And as this situation continues to play out, more notable storylines and social media reactions are likely to come about. As this storyline builds, we will continue to monitor it in relation to the Big 12 and the Longhorns.

But this is a situation that will impact Big 12 teams outside of Oklahoma and Texas, clearly. What other Big 12 teams should (and could) leave the Big 12 for the SEC along with the Longhorns?
