The college football landscape is rapidly evolving. Big 12 teams Texas and Oklahoma have intentions to join the SEC. Meanwhile, there’s a new alliance formed between the ACC, B1G, and Pac-12.

So where does that leave the Big 12?

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby weighed in on his conference’s stance on the impact of all these moving parts:

“The practical impacts of the arrangement are yet to be seen,” Bowlsby said. “The Big 12 Conference has every expectation that we will continue to compete at the highest levels and will be intimately and actively involved in the national athletics agenda.”

Right now, it seems like the Big 12 is on the outside looking in, but there’s bound to be a reactionary move by the conference at some point.

With Texas and Oklahoma eventually departing, the Big 12 will have to adjust without those two anchor programs in the fold. Oklahoma is the only Big 12 program to reach the College Football Playoff since its inception in 2015.
