The University of Texas and the University of Texas have submitted their formal request to SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey to join the Southeastern Conference. The two schools have taken major steps this week to depart from the Big 12 and start a new relationship with the SEC.
The Big 12 is moving forward with a 2020 fall football season despite the Big 10 and Pac-12 officially announcing they would not play. The conference athletic directors met last night to approve a schedule that was released today. The Big 12 will start its season on September 26 along with the SEC.
