The question is does Oklahoma really want to stay partnered with Texas? It seems as though the administration in Norman has emotionally detached themselves from the Big 12 over the last week or two. I don’t think the Pac-12 will take them without Texas and there appears to be growing resistance at Colorado and the Arizona schools to forming an “Eastern Division” of the league providing less access to California and the coast. Oklahoma does not want the SEC and feels as though that league is below their academic ambitions. As for BYU signing on to join the Big 12, I think more than likely Texas President Bill Powers at the very least will be talking at length to BYU President Cecil O. Samuelson and it is entirely possible an invitation in hand could be with Samuelson on his return to Provo late Saturday evening. If Oklahoma signs off on this, then I could see him along with BYU-AD Tom Holmoe taking such an invitation forward to the BYU Board of Trustees and senior LDS Church hierarchy early in the week.
