Oklahoma Football: 3 Reasons why Sooners aren’t leaving Big 12

There has been speculation that the Oklahoma football program wants to abandon the Big 12 for greener pastures, but it’s a move that simply won’t happen anytime soon.

It wouldn’t be a college football offseason if there weren’t rumors about Nick Saban going to Texas, Notre Dame joining a conference in football, and of course, another team jumping ship from the Big 12.

This year it’s Oklahoma who is reportedly unhappy with life in the inappropriately named conference, and the rumors are catching fire in a hurry.

Most recently, a columnist from The Oklahoman, Berry Tramel, appeared on the Paul Finebaum Show and stirred the pot with some rather outlandish statements. According to Tramel, Oklahoma fans are fed up with life in the Big 12 and want the Sooners to join the SEC .

As attractive as this may sound to some Oklahoma fans, it’s simply not going to happen – at least not in this lifetime. This is a pipe dream for Sooner fans and an utter nightmare for Bob Stoops, who loves to poke the SEC beehive at least once per season.

There are a number of reasons why we won’t see Oklahoma football playing amidst the conference everyone loves to hate, but there are several issues which make it next to impossible.

Here are the top three reasons the Sooners won’t be joining the SEC or any other conference anytime in the foreseeable future.
