You really think that a&m is getting recruits that would want to go to Texas, but only go to the Aggies because of sec?

Where’s your conference future gonna be?
Big XII adding some garbage schools to stay afloat? Dissolving completely? Join the Big 10? ACC? A G5 conference?
A more competitive league with a richer recruiting base and more money for the university is a great thing. You mean Oklahoma won’t run roughshod through the competition every year?!?! Iron will have to sharpen iron?!!! OH NO!!!
You’re not supposed to shy away from competition, you’re supposed to invite it. Oklahoma has always had to rely on the competition from the conference and compensate by scheduling a quality OOC matchup every year. Now they won’t have to do that. The competition will come from inside the conference. And the payout from the conference will be significantly higher.
But don’t worry, we’ll still schedule y’all for your annual ass whooping every year.

We'll be fine. We've become more desirable to other conferences in the last decade.
Sec only took Texas because they wanted another team that all the upper members could beat up on every year, and they wanted to add another middle of the road team in Uo that would look good on Alabama's resume.

Elaborate. Because OU is recruiting at a level to be very competitive in that conference. And they'll only recruit better going forward. okie state though, they have a real opportunity to be the leader of a mid major. And that has to be exciting.
2017 tx #25 class, aggie #13
Dec 1 they hire fisher
2018 tx has #2 class, aggie #17
2019 texas has #3 class, aggie #4.
2020 texas #8, aggie #6
2021 tx #15, aggie #8
I'm seeing a pattern developing here. they are definitely using their 'we are the only sec team in texas' on the recruiting trail. texas has and will always recruit well, and historically, way better than aggie. but not so much anymore.
That really sounds like wishful thinking. You really ought to consider checking out how OU is recruiting right now and try to reconcile how that jives with your statement. I dont expect them to take 6 in a row by any means, but OU will compete and will win that conference before any texas team does.
If Recent history is any indication, Oklahoma will be very successful against just about everyone in that conference who isn’t the best team in the country that year.

Oklahoma has one of the best offenses in the country every single year. And now has a highly ranked defense.
They’re not the leader until they knock the crown off Alabama’s head. Everyone else has been one and done. Oklahoma is gonna jump right up with Georgia, LSU, and Florida right off the bat.
