Summary
Andy and The Athletic's college football phenom Max Olson put thoughts to words regarding a report from Brent Zwerneman of the Houston Chronicle that Texas and Oklahoma have expressed interest in joining the SEC. You. Read. That. Right. Could two of the Big 12's crown jewels be on the move? How would this transition affect both conferences? Who would slide into the vacant Big 12 seats, and why are both clubs interested in actuating a multi-conference realignment? Plus, what other dominos would topple because of this move?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Andy Staples show special edition, dropping late on a Wednesday night or possibly early on a Thursday morning, but we are talking realignment. |
| 0:19.9 | I didn't think we'd get to this point this soon in the life cycle of college sports, |
| 0:26.0 | but here we are back again with potentially massive realignment news. |
| 0:32.5 | Brent's Wernamant of the Houston Chronicle reported on Wednesday that Texas and Oklahoma |
| 0:36.7 | had reached out to the SEC about |
| 0:39.2 | potentially becoming members of the SEC. Texas A&M is not happy about this. Of course, |
| 0:45.1 | nobody else in the Big 12 is happy about this. This is going to be a very interesting story as it |
| 0:52.8 | develops. We know from 2010 and 2011 what happens with this stuff. |
| 0:58.0 | If somebody makes a move, if a big brand, a power conference team makes a move to another |
| 1:03.9 | power conference, the dominoes tend to go a little bit crazy. That could definitely happen here |
| 1:09.8 | with two massive brands in Texas and Oklahoma. |
| 1:14.1 | The statements from the SEC and Texas and Oklahoma very, very vague. The statement for Texas |
| 1:21.3 | A&M, very decisive. The statement from Oklahoma State, very decisive. We're going to find |
| 1:26.2 | it a lot more as we move forward in the next few weeks, but Max Olson |
| 1:30.7 | and I tried to break it down as best we can for you in the very early stages of a developing |
| 1:36.1 | story that is going to have massive repercussions across the world of college sports. |
| 1:41.0 | The thought of major realignment did not seem likely unless Texas or Oklahoma wanted to do |
| 1:47.9 | something. |
| 1:48.5 | And so we hadn't heard anything definitive about either one wanting to move. |
| 1:52.8 | Now, Texas did not confirm this. |
| 1:56.4 | Oklahoma did not confirm this. |
