SEC expected to vote on Texas, Oklahoma today

SEC presidents are "expected to meet" today and formally vote to accept Texas and Oklahoma as new conference members, according to sources. UT and OU need "at least 11 yes votes from the current 14 SEC schools." Four no votes "would kill expansion." But another source said, “I feel like we have the votes." Another person with ties to Texas A&M said: “I’ve heard nothing to indicate this will go sideways.” One source said that SEC presidents and ADs were "briefed Tuesday on the financial parameters of a new 16-team conference." The UT System Board of Regents has scheduled a meeting for Friday morning, "presumably to formally accept the SEC’s invitation." OU regents also have "scheduled a Friday meeting" (AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN, 7/29).
