But I don't buy these political considerations about rivals. That didn't matter with A&M. More and more public universities look like private universities, as they are required to be increasingly self-reliant for funding.

Maybe OU/OSU have a BFF pact like Utah and BYU had. Maybe OU isn't willing to break their BFF pact like the unscrupulous Utes.
