Well that's just a dumb thing to say.
They have fans nationwide.
Hes right though. You add programs to a conference because of television stations that will carry the SEC Network. Oklahoma does not bring in viewers for the SEC Network. However you are correct as well. OK plays in major bowls which brings in cash and they increase the appeal of the SEC which increases the value of the brand.

Oklahoma is joined at the hip with Ok State, I don't think legislatures in Oklahoma would ever allow it.
This point above is correct, it's a PACKAGE DEAL with OK. You cannot pick ou and anybody other than okie lite, period. Because of this alone, I don't see the state of OK coming to the SEC. This is big biz now. The SEC must go east to the states of VA and NC...yes, the GOR is in play. VA or NC > all of OK. It's all about population (TV sets) and a 16-team conference is coming. Five years ago things changed and there is more change coming eventually. Boren basically asked for change with his statement.
texass...if you play with turds, you get them on your hands. ou trusted texass, now look. Somebody earlier said "it's in their DNA". This could not be more true. I know a bunch of good folks in TX, but the Austin variety is not the same. They think that they are above all others. They are the type "the end justifies the means". It's pretty on paper but NOT worth it. Do NOT go there SEC. If you do, it will be regretted later. TX and OK are already watching the SEC Network, nothing to gain.
