If the SEC is willing to take Oklahoma and Oklahoma State then the decision becomes much simpler for Texas. If that's the prospect they're dealing with then it's much easier to say "wait a minute, just take us and Texas Tech."

Texas would have to be pretty stubborn to allow themselves to be forced into a corner where they end up making the same move under less favorable terms.

I've reread your post several times thinking about nuance. Could it be that Finebaum and other's have pushed the OU / OSU to the SEC thing in order to force Texas to think about what their world might be like if that indeed happened? Maybe so.

The approach here would be effective. So since that happened a couple of years ago when that hype was high, then where we are today it could be that Texas has quietly sent their signals and now they are waiting for Oklahoma and Kansas to make the first move, while giving OU time to separate from OSU and that they will make their move afterward so that they can claim they are saving Texas Tech and were forced to make a solid move to keep pace with OU and that is why they chose the SEC.

When you put the different considerations we are exploring here into a timeline then a whole different strategy could be seen if it comes to pass.

I keep coming back to Kansas.

In the past, I've thought ESPN might try to move Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Kansas into the SEC. Assuming they don't mind making the SEC the unquestioned leader in the clubhouse then that's the easiest way to keep the best content in-house.

If Texas Tech is to be protected in the SEC then I suppose there's more than way to do it, but I can't shake the feeling that Kansas will play a role in ESPN's plans.

Pick up Texas and Texas Tech first. Then take Kansas and tell Oklahoma the last spot is yours if you come alone. If not....Iowa State, T.C.U., or West Virginia. I mean if thy are willing to leave OSU to head to the Big 10 with Kansas, then if there is only 1 slot left in the SEC it's take it or leave it.
