Report: Texas and Oklahoma may depart to the SEC ahead of the 2024 season

Texas and Oklahoma’s move to the SEC may happen earlier than expected. 

Texas and Oklahoma’s move to the SEC may happen earlier than expected.

Brett McMurphy of The Action Network reports the Longhorns and Sooners are “gaining momentum” towards joining its new league ahead of the 2024 season. A whole year prior to the initially expected timeframe.

Texas and Oklahoma’s departure from the Big 12 to the SEC back in July of 2021 sparked a wave of conference realignment across the nation.

The Big 12 Conference went out and acquired BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF, leading to a new television deal for the league.

The Big Ten made a splash out west by landing the Pac-12’s most prominent brands in USC and UCLA.

A 2024 move would put the SEC on the same timeline as the Big Ten for expansion. This happens to be the same year the College Football Playoff moves to the 12-team format.
