Is it even worth it for UCF to pursue becoming a member of the beleaguered, broken-down Big 12?
The fact we’re even asking this question tells you the sad state of a league that on Monday officially found out its two premier members — Oklahoma and Texas — are leaving and taking all of their tradition, money and marquee value with them.
According to Monday’s joint statement released by both programs, the Longhorns and the Sooners informed the Big 12 they will not be renewing their grants of media rights following their expiration in 2025. This, of course, opens the door for two of college football’s biggest brands to make their reported jump to the Southeastern Conference, which has suddenly transformed the Power 5 into the Power 1. If you’re scoring at home, college football is about to turn into the SEC and its four little bubbas.
