Any reports that explain why? They are making big bucks in the B10 and TX/OK still run the B12.

They like the money but their brand hasn't grown? That makes no sense. The brand on them, not the conference.

I think bigger news is OU might leave. Where would they go?

Totally thought that was gonna happen a few years ago, and it almost did. It looked like Texas, OU, and some other B12 schools were gonna switch. My fear with that is that we would then be possibly put in a "SW" division with those teams and the California "Pacific" schools would be put in the other division, losing some access to that fertile CA recruiting ground.
