Texas and ND has been the holy grail for Swofford. Not that I think it will happen but that appears to be the best hope is ND to join if Texas joins the ACC. I think OU and OSU to SEC and Texas and ND to the ACC would be great incredible. SEC gets Bedlam and TX plays OU, OK ST and Tx AM every three years as part of ACC/SEC rivalry weekend. Just have a feeling B10 will not allow this to happen.
The academic powers that be, if Oklahoma was going to leave the Big 12, they'd way rather go to the Pac 12. There's not a lot of enthusiasm for the SEC on the academic side. I think they look at the Pac 12 as a way to enhance their academic reputation. SEC is about the same as the Big 12. Big 12 used to be better and then the SEC got two of the better academic institutions from the Big 12 and sort of tilted it. But I think they'd rather be in a league with Stanford and Cal and UCLA than in a league with Mississippi State or Georgia.

CLOSE CALL
In retrospect, the PAC12 turning down OU and OSU might very well be the dumbest decision of the realignment era. Holy crap, what were they thinking?
Tramel has always been a Boren mouthpiece.
the boren you cynically deride is none other than ou's president ...
THE DECIDER
I know. He announced his retirement late last year and it will be essentially effective in June.
