Oklahoma is not a conference, but rather a state in the United States. However, Oklahoma is a member of the Big 12 Conference, which is a collegiate athletic organization composed of several universities, including the Universities of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, as well as Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Baylor, Texas Christian, Texas Tech, and West Virginia universities. However, on July 26, 2021, Oklahoma and Texas announced their intent to withdraw from the Big 12 Conference, and they will not be renewing their grants of media rights following expiration in 2025. The two schools did not specify which conference they intend to join, but all signs point to the Southeastern Conference. On July 29, 2021, the 14 presidents and chancellors of SEC member universities voted unanimously to invite Oklahoma and Texas to join the SEC. Therefore, starting from the 2025-2026 athletic year, Oklahoma will be a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) .
