Conference alignment will be on the agenda when the Oklahoma board of regents meets in Tulsa on Monday.

The 219-page document says the following on page 218:

The Board of Regents will discuss potential legal ramifications of athletic conference realignment options and/or consider new athletic conference membership and take any appropriate action. An executive session may be proposed pursuant to Section 307B.4 of the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act.

An asterisk is next to the item on conference realignment, which means the regents could discuss the matter in executive session and not allow the public to be privy to the talks.



Oklahoma president David Boren said earlier this month the school was exploring whether it would stay in the Big 12 with the departure of Texas A&M to the SEC expected to take place next year. Boren put a timetable of about three weeks to decide its future plans.

Officials with the conference told USA TODAY the Sooners are having exploratory talks about a move to the Pac-12. Texas, while working to preserve the 15-year-old conference, has begun informal conversations with the Pac-12 and the Atlantic Coast Conference as it weighs options, according to the officials.
