Oklahoma Pac-12 Expansion: Big 12 Getting What It Deserves for Longhorn Network

After Texas A&M announced it would be leaving the Big 12 on Wednesday, it comes as no surprise that there may be a domino effect, with Oklahoma potentially leaving the troubled conference as well.

The big issue, of course, is that the conference permits The Longhorn Network, which specifically touts the University of Texas and is run by ESPN.

This obviously leads to an unfair recruiting advantage for Texas while the rest of the schools are left picking up the potential scraps Texas leaves behind.

The Sooners will supposedly decide in three weeks if they will be leaving the Big 12 for the Pac-12 after Texas A&M gets set to enter the SEC.

And the Sooners have every right to ditch the conference. There's a reason why some conferences don't allow schools to have their own sports networks—because of situations like this. But by ignoring the problem, the Big 12 has just set itself up to get what it deserves.

Most likely, the conference was hoping it could get away with just the Aggies leaving, but it's becoming more and more apparent that the rest of the conference is getting sick of the advantage being granted to Texas.

You give this much power to one school, and it's only a matter of time before the rest of the conference gets sick and tired of being played with.

A&M was rather clear it didn't want to stick around. Losing Oklahoma would be a huge hit to the Big 12.
