Point one.\u00a0 The Big 12 Conference is not a conference without the University of Oklahoma or the University of Texas as members. If either one bolts for another league, the Big 12 is over.\u00a0 Simple fact.\u00a0 Point two.\u00a0 The University\u00a0of Oklahoma\u00a0needs to tell the Big 12 Conference that they are leaving the league and have asked for acceptance in either the Big Ten or the Southeastern Conference.\u00a0 With that statement, go back\u00a0to point one.\u00a0 The Big 12 conference is history.\u00a0 What is happening to the Oklahoma Sooners in their efforts to promote what is good for the school with regard to conference membership in the Big 12 is frightening.\u00a0 OU President David Boren has been muzzled by the Big 12 Conference this weekend by League Commissioner Bob Bowlsby. President Boren must act in what is\u00a0in the best interest for his university, and this\u00a0movement to another league\u00a0needs to be taken immediately.\u00a0 I think\u00a0when the dust settles later this week, the Univ. of Oklahoma will be a member of either the Big Ten or the SEC. If it doesn\u2019t happen, look for the Big 12 Conference to fold.\u00a0 The suggestions that President Boren has put on the table with the Big 12 can save the league but the Commissioner of the Big12 doesn\u2019t agree.\u00a0 Today, the Big 12 died and it is just a matter of time for \u201call\u201d members of the Big 12 to recognize it.\u00a0 Boomer.<\/span><\/h5>\n
