[QUOTE="IrishIllini, post: 1230735, member: 576774"] There's more to joining a conference than who you play on Saturday in the Fall. Research means a lot to TX. Not so much for Oklahoma. The SEC just does not have the intercollegiate cooperation that the B1G does. The B1G is incredibly effective at joining forces to secure large research grants from the Feds. If TX wishes to retain a strong academic profile and Athletic Department, the B1G could edge out the SEC. For the record I have no interest in TX joining the B1G. I'd much rather us take ND and Missouri (I know many disagree here) or Virginia. [/QUOTE]
