SEC Commish Sankey breaks silence, makes statement on Texas, Oklahoma & SEC

Post by BrentVU »

The University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas today [June 27] submitted formal requests for invitations to become members of the Southeastern Conference in 2025.

While the SEC has not proactively sought new members, we will pursue significant change when there is a clear consensus among our members that such actions will further enrich the experiences of our student-athletes and lead to greater academic and athletic achievement across our campuses. The Presidents and Chancellors of the SEC, in their capacity as the conference’s Chief Executive Officers, will consider these requests in the near future. Per the Bylaws of the SEC, a vote of at least three-fourths of the SEC’s 14 members is required to extend an invitation for membership.


Are there four schools in the SEC that would want to block this move? Stay tuned.
