All of the talk around the Big 12 landscape on the afternoon and evening of July 21 has to do with the reported interested of the likes of Texas football and the Oklahoma Sooners to join the SEC. Of course nothing is confirmed yet, but it is significant news that these two Big 12 powers would even make such a move as to reach out to the SEC to test the waters.

This doesn’t up bring up the fact that there would likely be plenty of schools in the SEC that would want to veto this move from the Longhorns and Sooners after bolting from the Big 12. There should be a couple of schools that immediately come to mind when thinking of those in the SEC that would veto the Longhorns joining.

But that is just one angle of this conversation to look into.

How Texas football and Oklahoma joining the SEC could rock college football?

It was not all that long ago that the SEC took on two members from the Big 12. Roughly one decade ago the SEC took on the likes of the Mizzou Tigers and Texas A&M Aggies from the Big 12. And even the Colorado Buffaloes and Nebraska Cornhuskers left the Big 12 about a decade ago for the PAC-12 and Big Ten, respectively.

This is much more abrupt news concerning the two biggest powers that be in the Big 12 to come about than the conference realignment conversation around a decade ago. But this doesn’t involve as many schools on the surface.

Texas and Oklahoma would surely shake-up the entire college football landscape in a major way of this move were to happen anytime soon.

But here’s a look into three schools that would hate the idea of the Longhorns and Sooners joining the SEC.
