Description
Andy accompanied by The Athletic's Max Olson and David Ubben, spit truth about Texas, Oklahoma, the Big 12, and the SEC in today's show. An awkward, uncomfortable college football divorce has the guys channeling their inner Yeezy, signing "we want prenup! We want prenup (Yeah!)". With Texas and Oklahoma out of the picture, what will the Big 12's middle class, the "Irate 8", do now that the Longhorns and Sooners are out of the picture? Will the Big 12 dissolve? Which teams could supplement the existing eight, allowing the conference to remain afloat? Should the remaining programs switch helmet stickers, and if so, which programs will wind up where? Could the AAC be a landing spot for some clubs? How do television ratings from past years affect the course of the realignment, and where does BYU fit into all of this?
