[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3681643, member: 14646"] I'm still not convinced that UT and OU moving to the SEC is going to bode well for them. More money? Sure. Does money help? Sometimes. What I'm trying to find an answer to is that OU currently is raking in many top TX high school players because they have historically been the top dog in the Big 12 where all major TX programs are apart of. When OU, and UT for that matter, moves to the SEC and does mediocre (this is my guess) will these same 5 Star Texas recruits want to attend OU or will they rather go to one of the SEC schools that already has a strong record of winning in that conference. Reality is that some of the SEC schools and others in the South will be filling some open coaching positions with some well known coaches (Reilly possibly included) that the recruits will flock to over a mediocre OU team, espcially if Reilly is no longer there. Will the additional revenue in the SEC bring better recruits to OU, more so than they already are getting? I don't see it. [/QUOTE]
