    Why Oklahoma and Texas need to stay where they are in the Big 12 and not join the SEC?

    As of last week The University of Texas and University of Oklahoma have made it publicly known that they are making preparations to join the SEC. Many SEC fans are wondering why and they have good reason to ask why should we let them in.  Now, from a football perspective one reason why OU and Texas over the last 20 or so years have been the icons and face of the conference especially when it comes to the style of play. OU is the defecto powerhouse of the Big 12 and there is no team in the country has put up the offensive number OU has over the last 4 years until LSU did in 2019 on their way to their national championship. Texas has not been relevant in over 11 years and has changed coaches 3 times and they have also been in championship form since 2009 when they lost the Alabama in the national championship. Now, lets look at the numbers. Oklahoma and Texas combined are 7-7 against the SEC since 2011, but against the SEC Elite they are a combined 0-5. Oklahoma averages 10 wins a season since 2011, but if they join the SEC that win drops to an average of 9 to possibly as low as 7 wins per season because the Sooners defense is not competitive enough again the top teams in the SEC where defense reigns supreme in the conference. Texas averages 6 to 7 wins consistently, but with their current defense and offense; if the Longhorns were to play in the SEC they would consistently win 5 to 6 games a year.  Well, in Oklahoma's case they will go from being at the Top of the Big 12 to the middle of the pack in the SEC. Texas will pretty much stay in the middle as well as they have for the last decade.  From a revenue perspective, Texas is the highest grossing college football program in the nation and right now Texas and OU generate almost 50% of the conferences revenue by themselves.  They would both have to share revenue in the SEC so that everything is on an equal plane in the SEC; whereas the Sooners and Longhorns are the 2 renegade powers of the conference and have did and gotten whatever they wanted which prompted the departure of Nebraska, Texas A&M, and Missouri almost a decade ago.  Hypothetically, if Oklahoma and Texas were to join the SEC they both would have to pay the Big 12 upwards of $79 Million dollars each plus an exit fee that could be anything from $8 to $12 Million dollars.  The departure of the Longhorns and Sooners would not just effect the Big 12, but it would realign every conference which means that the term "power 5" team or conference would no longer be valid and would either lead the Big 12 to take in 2 teams or just have an outright champion out of 10 teams.    --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/10se7enliveshow/support
