Fans chanted 'S-E-C' at Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark during Texas' trophy presentation
It doesn’t sound like Texas Longhorns fans are too bent out of shape about leaving the Big 12 for the SEC next year. And they’re not huge fans of Brett Yormark.
As the Big 12 commissioner presented Texas with its conference championship hardware after the team took down Oklahoma State, 49-21, on Saturday, he got loud boos from the fans in the crowd.
Any sort of commissioner of anything is pretty much always going to get booed by the fans, but fans elevated their jeers by audibly chanting “S-E-C!” as Yormark was talking.
It got so bad that Texas coach Steve Sarkisian tried to quiet down his team’s fan base during the presentation.

Talk about adding insult to injury.
Texas going to the SEC will be one of the big stories of the college football season next fall, especially since the Longhorns topped Alabama on the road this past September.
At the very least, we’re guessing there won’t be too many tears shed by Texas fans for the pending Big 12 departure with how they greeted Yormark.
