Texas and Oklahoma have officially joined the Southeastern Conference (SEC) as of July 1, 2024, marking a significant shift in college sports. This move concludes three years of anticipation and is part of a broader wave of conference realignments. The addition of these two schools to the SEC is seen as the first major step in transforming the Power 5 conferences into the Power 4. The Big Ten and ACC are also expected to announce new members soon. Texas and Oklahoma's departure from the Big 12 ushers in a new era, making the SEC tougher for mid to bottom-tier teams.
