Right now the SEC isn't interested and Oklahoma has no desire to help. However, what we don't know is how the future will play out. Right now college athletics is heading down a path where it appears it will be either a P2 World or P2 G8 World (at least in football). Likewise, we don't know how big the Big Ten and SEC will get in the future in terms of membership. There could come a day when the Big Ten and SEC are so large that they end up breaking up into at least 2 conferences. For the SEC, that could mean LSU, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and TAMU form their own conference along with a couple new members to get the membership number to a certain level. This is where a school like Oklahoma St or Kansas could come into play particularly if these conferences return to their regional roots. Now of course that assumes that the Big Ten and SEC are already off doing their own thing and they eventually find some common ground that results in a collaboration in terms of how the money is divided up. Currently that isn't possible because both are trying to pick their side. What will happen though when the dust settles and they are the only 2 left standing? Could history repeat itself like what we saw with the AFL-NFL or ABA-NBA merger? Now I'm not suggesting the 2 conferences will merger together. I could see them forming a partnership to try to maximize the amount of money everyone makes assuming Congress is will to grant them a waiver for violating antitrust laws. That's what led me to the possibility of the Big Ten and SEC breaking up into smaller "regional conferences" because the threat of competition is no more if everyone is working together (see the NBA, NHL, NFL, MLB, and MLS).
