“Texas and Oklahoma of the Big 12 have both reached out to the Southeastern Conference about potentially joining the powerful league, a high-ranking college official with knowledge of the situation told the Houston Chronicle on Wednesday,” Houston Chronicle’s Brent Zwerneman reported.
If the two programs were to move conferences, it would send seismic waves throughout the college football landscape and could potentially impact the Pac-12 Conference.
The last time the Pac-12 expanded was a decade ago when Colorado and Utah joined the league.
