Re: that column about OU-KU leaving the Big 12 - won't ever happen because OU would never go anywhere without Texas.
When I was growing up I assumed the Oklahoma schools were more like Kansas and Kansas State than they really were. They played in the Big 8 and the OU-Nebraska rivalry was huge so it seemed like they "fit" in the area. But really they are just Northern Texas and have zero interest being involved with the other 6 schools (now down to 3 obviously). Both voted to move the Big 12 headquarters to Dallas and to vote for the SWC Commish over KU's AD. So right from the get-go they were pro Texas. With the realignment saga we saw both trying to do whatever they could to stick nearby Texas. I doubt either would care if they never played the old Big 8 schools again.
