The really interesting move will be OU and Texas to the SEC. Will their wide open offenses common in the Big XII be able to defeat the defenses of the SEC? Or will OU and Texas revert to the much more conservative offenses of the SEC? I am hoping for the former but fear it will be the latter.
I think you're likely correct. But the bigger issue is that this is just another nail (adding to the hundreds already there) in the coffin for the idea of the student athlete, especially in basketball. Imagine traveling from Champaign/Bloomington/East Lansing, etc to Los Angeles for a 9 pm game.

Ole Miss, Miss St., Bama and Georgia seem to run a wide open offense. I think it's more the case the Big 12 doesn't play defense!
