[QUOTE="BZuppke, post: 1222862, member: 12358"] I think it is complicated for many reasons. I don't think (maybe wrong) OU has the academics so that may be an issue for us. Unlike Rutgers and Maryland, there's no particular market that we'd want in Oklahoma. Oklahoma and OSU are tied together politically (where would OSU go?). If OSU doesn't have a landing place, I think Oklahoma politics would prevent OU from abandoning them. There's the increasingly nonsensical geography of things (look what an ill fit UWV is). Texas itself may not want to be an "equal partner" anywhere. No question Texas has it all (academics, football tradition, state rich in recruits etc.). I'm not saying any of you are wrong that it can't happen, but I think there are a lot of things that make it unlikely, and probably why it hasn't happened already. [/QUOTE]
