He's actually been consistent with the "OU will leave B12 if UT don't convert LHN to B12 and WVU will follow to SEC".

What I find interesting is all the WVU "insiders" don't think OU has a shot at joining the B1G while all the B1G "insiders" think OU will/would pass the votes. I don't see the current crop of B1G Presidents looking past that AAU requirement.

MH has had to go private on his twitter account since the dude was harrassing both him and fluge all week about being liars and wanting them to be on some podcast to question them.

The SEC is WVU nirvana. OU could go most anywhere. If the Big 10 took them it would be because their football content is in need of a boost. If OU chooses the SEC it will be because they want content for all sports and their basketball program would be a king in the SEC, not Kentucky level but high enough. And there is quite the contingent at Oklahoma that loves softball and baseball and the SEC is the place to be for both of those.

Of course the whole course of events could flip if the PAC goes in with ESPN or FOX.

The problem I have with WVU is that it does nothing to balance the divisions by moving Missouri West. It makes Kentucky less likely to move West, and would still require that you split Vanderbilt / Tennessee or Auburn / Alabama to accomplish a Missouri move.

Not that I particularly favor any of these but I could see OU / OSU if Oklahoma is acting alone. I could see OU / TCU if the SEC is trying to sew up Dallas. I could see OU / Baylor if Texas has gotten the PAC to agree to take T.C.U. and Tech. But the move I quietly wish for is OU / FSU. The SEC needs the majority of Florida and Oklahoma by itself gives us not only the state of Oklahoma but DFW. Plus they both are straight out SEC caliber. IMO if you anchor down the Southern most parts of the conference with those two additions then you can afford to wait on anything else you want. Besides landing FSU just might shake loose a Virginia Tech if that is what we truly want. But personally, I'd be happier with Clemson and another Texas school.
