A&M will find out what nebraska is about to find out. They just effectively traded money for more butt kickings. Any south division team would have no trouble finding a conference. The Pac 12 is still interested in moving to 18 teams.
I am not smart enough to figure out how realistic all this is or what it would mean, but it seems unlikely to me that OU and OSU would ever split up. Also, why is just "Sporting News" now? I am going to be a rebel and continue to call it "The Sporting News."
