oklahoma and texas to the sec. what will the mountain west look like in 2025

Post by st808 »

with oklahoma and texas moving to the sec in 2025 to minimize espn's broadcast influence, the shake up in other conferences' rosters is inevitable.

how will the mwc respond? which teams from the mwc are most likely to leave? which teams should the mwc pursue for membership? should hawaii apply to another conference?

will the state begin to demolish aloha stadium by 2025?

If the Big XII implodes to where the remaining 8 schools finds new homes then, the MWC won't lose a school and might even get one...either K-State or TCU. If we do get a leftover, we'll have to find another school to keep the conference at an even number.

But, if the leftovers start grabbing schools to keep the Big XII alive then, all bets are off.

Personally would love to see the MW grab TCU. That way I can go to more Wyoming games...Fort Worth is only about a 4 hour drive from OKC.

I think you might see the Big 12 respond by trying to get Boise and BYU. Or if they're dead set on staying Texas oriented, then Houston and SMU. Or any two of those 4 or heck maybe all 4 of those schools.

The Big 12 is better off dead if they add BYU. I don't trust/or like that place at all.

Surprising that nobody’s mentioned Cincinnati as a potential future P5 team. Although their best bet was the Big 12.

I too would love for the MWC to snatch up TCU & SMU, so I could go to those games here in the Metroplex! However, I don't see that happening. Instead I see the other big conferences snatching up what's left. Ok. St. to Big 10, possibly s/ o TF her schools like Kansas, K State & another school. Then there is th he PAC 12 that will also be lurking. I just hope UH gets in there somehow wa, but I doubt it, too many teams that recruit Hawaii, that they don't want UH to have that level of prestige, to compete with them in recruiting.

Personally would love to see TCU go back to the MW but as you said...that aint happening.

BTW, I honestly can't see Okie State going to the Big Ten. They are a better fit for the PAC-XX aka Pick A Number.

Good guess with BYU and Houston. Add UCF and Cincy.

This is a decent result for the MWC as it weakens the AAC and they can't make a run at being a P5/P6 conference anymore, not can they claim that they are the best G5 conference. Status Quo works for now.

I don't care what happens to other teams across the landscape. I just hope Hawaii survives.

Same here. I hope Wyoming survives as well.
