It is a slight stretch only though, Oklahoma and Texas are not that far away from Ole Miss, LSU, and some of the original members. Michigan and Ohio State are a major geographical out-tier.

Norman is almost twice as far from Baton Rouge as Columbus is from Knoxville, and three times as far as a Columbus is from Lexington. #fail

True but geographically and cultural, Oklahoma and Texas have been associated with the South. In reality, they are their own group but if you had to stick them in a cultural block, it would be the Southeastern United States before any other group.

There is just a lot in common between Texas and states like Tennessee and Alabama. Honestly, Ohio has started to share a lot in common with the South with the blue collar attitude. Michigan is a little more iffy.

Kind of a sad example, but I travel to Ohio a lot for work and I saw more Confederate flags driving through Ohio than I have seen in Tennessee (which is ironic since Grant and Sherman both came from Ohio).

Texas, OU not renewing Big 12 media rights

Texas and Oklahoma notified the Big 12 on Monday that they will not be renewing their grants of media rights following expiration in 2025.

Sounds like a done deal now. When should we expect the announcement?
 
Welp. That's that. Time for the rest of the entertainment to start.

Not true. But if it were, it’d make my meme even funnier.

I’m mostly a straight liquor drinker, never had a mint julep. I did drink a bunch of hurricanes in New Orleans though, so I’d drink a mint julep if I ever went to a horse race

But now with Texas fans here, it will start all over again. And if there's something that will haunt all of us, it will be Texas fans chanting S-E-C at college gameday shoots.

We've always trolled SEC team we play with that.. I highly doubt that a full stadium would ever chant that seriously when tosu or UM comes and plays in Austin

“Honoring a contract” doesn’t mean staying in the b12 until the contract is over. They can honor the buyout clauses.

yep.. chuckling at the thought of Texas playing in the Big12 til the contract expires LOL
 
What is funny, if you would have told me back in early 2000s that the SEC would be adding 4 schools, I would have assumed schools like Louisville, Clemson, Florida State, or Virginia Tech. Not Texas, Oklahoma and Texas A&M. I don't like what it is doing to the competitiveness of the non-SEC leagues but I am excited about having OU and Texas in the league and playing them (even if we will likely get our butts beat). Watching them play the other SEC schools will be great as well.

Everyone in Oklahoma refers to southeast Oklahoma as Little Dixie. Seriously, you get down towards McAlester and beyond, it's like being in Louisiana or Alabama.

If the original Big 12 had stayed with the same members it had at the beginning with aTm, Nebraska, Missouri and Colorado still in the league then you are healthy and thriving.

The LHN created an unfair advantage for Texas and it cost you the conference.

I said it the day the deal was signed (which you well know) and this is just the last step in the end.

Oklahoma is going to weather this fine but there is going to be bad blood against Texas for years to come particularly within your state. You’ve screwed hundreds of thousands of fans from other programs and everyone of them will not forget it.

I am not in the cry baby pointing fingers, especially from program that already left or trolls trying to drum up shit from over a decade ago. It’s boring and redundant. Not to mention just laughable to think Missouri and Nebraska change the dynamics
