I think uo will be ok. I don’t want them to but w Riley at the head they will continue to get premium QBs and Oline. I don’t know that their dline recruiting picks up bc they still will battle TX and A&M for the TX talent. Does changing conf’s change that perspective?
Here’s what the orange glasses on me hopes. For going on 50 yrs they have played in a conf where there has only been 1 other big dog at a time (Neb & TX). And 1 of those was always played on a neutral field. I don’t count us the last 20 yrs bc well bc we somehow can’t beat them other than 1-2 times a decade. Not only have they only had 1 big dog they’ve also had maybe the poorest bottom 3 or 4 over those same 50 yrs. And let’s not forget the recruiting cheating and conference pandering.
Those factors standing alone are an advantage but collectively they are huge. All of that ends day 1 in the SEC except maybe the recruiting cheating but at least they won’t be at the head of the class on that one.

Really not sure about only Tech being the Texas footprint as Lubbock is further away from Texas population centers than Stillwater. I can understand taking TCU and Houston for exposure in the two biggest markets in the state. Would NU, tOSU, Mich rather play in Lubbock or DFW and Houston.

Not to mention the fact that their conference payout is the highest in college football. From a financial standpoint, we would benefit greatly from joining the Big Ten.
Big Ten led all Power Five conferences in revenue for 2020 fiscal year
