Highly unlikely. The state of Oklahoma doesn’t have the population to support two teams in the SEC. Most polls indicate that 75% of the state are OU fans. It’s not financially viable for the SEC to take both teams.

OU has made it very clear that SEC would be their last choice. If OU leaves the Big XII, they will go to the PAC or the B1G. BTW, B1G has ‘vetted’ OU for membership.

I could see OU in the B1G with Kansas while Texas reconstitutes the South West Conference augmenting the remnants of the Big XII with AAC teams.

Never happen. OU is not going anywhere without OSU. The politicians would not allow it.

OU has nothing in common with the B1G or PAC. I don’t think those conferences want OU either. Again nothing in common.

Also I think the SEC cares more about the quality of athletics, specifically football. If the quality is there, the money will follow eventually.
