Some Oklahoma fans are furious, want school to leave the Big 12
There are some seriously upset Oklahoma fans right now.
It’s no secret that Oklahoma president David Boren would like the Big 12 to expand. Texas appears to be against expansion, and that doesn’t make Sooners fans happy.
The latest grievance was the Big 12’s decision Wednesday to not overturn a rule that prevents walk-on transfers from losing year of eligibility. That meant Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield was denied a chance to play in 2017.
ESPN reported Thursday that the league is reconsidering that decision. That may or may not appease OU fans, many of whom wanted out of the Big 12.
He needs to "sway" OU's way out the door. Leave the Big 12. Please. https://t.co/QgjIYqsf9w

OU should pull out of the Big 12 and watch the league crumble. Good luck to the rest..

Why is OU still in the big12? Can you imagine Dale Mitchell Stadium turned into Baum Field? Can't be athletics.

The big 12 ruling yesterday basically meant, "baker is too good, we don't want him at OU another year." Big 12 sucks.. I want the SEC.

OU just needs to leave the Big 12. They'll do a lot better somewhere else.

OU should leave the Big 12. Incompetence knows no bounds in that conference

I've been saying for years that the Big 12 isn't a good fit for OU anymore. I hope today is the straw that broke the back. #OUtoSEC #OUtoB1G

The kid Sooner fan in me wants to see OU bail on the big 12 and go west.

I'm legit pissed off... I would rather OU be in literally any other major conference at this point.

@OklahomaUpdated We are a state where land was grabbed up, see no better option than to stake a claim in another conference
