Texas & Oklahoma leaving in 2024, period.

[Hoggins]

Who cares anymore? Someday they will finally be gone and I think we get some money either way don't we?

Kinda. So they both owe an exit fee of 2 years worth of Conference money distributions. Which is $40 million a piece for a single year. The Big 12 simply won’t give them that money.

The second payment would’ve been if they left the league early and broke the GOR. That won’t happen now since they are staying.

Actually I think we are paying 45MM, or should be there by the last year, so that would bump them up to 90MM each to leave.

According to these guys, the answer to the thread is NO

 

[RustShack]

This is just how negotiations work, it’s possible they come to an agreement still.

These guys are wrong in one area. They say that SDSU will have the leverage to say to the Big 12, "The PAC 10 is offering a full share from day 1. That is all we will accept from the Big 12." They can say that but the Big 12 can say, "The limited share is not much less than the PAC 10 full share but the full share you'll get from us in a few years will be much more (if the PAC 10 even still exists). Take it or leave it."

Sounds like Fox and ESPN is the issue

 

[surly]

There's a commercial war going on between ESPN and Fox. The latter doesn't want to give up the B12 OU/TX games without a huge inventory payback. That's the issue here. Both the conferences and OU/TX want the schools to join the SEC sooner rather than later. How embarrassing it would be for either or both to leave with additional football and/or hoops' championships. Ugh!

 

[Kinch]

Something incredible is going on with how the narrative has switched since we hired Yormark.
1. Before his hire, the Big 12 was described as desperate and rudderless and the reason for OuT's exit. Now, "The Big 12 wants OuT out, the sooner the better." In other words, this means the Big 12 is happy with their future and infers the reason for OuT's exit has nothing to do with the big 12.
2. Before his hire, the remaining eight Big 12 members were always referred to in the media and on OuT's social media as the "Hateful 8" or "Little sisters". Now, they are referred to, on the same sites as the "Legacy Big 12 members."
3. Before his hire, OuT and SEC were the smartest in the world and their move was "brilliant" and the Big 12 was left out in the dark. Now, Yormark, has successfully played Fox against ESPN and the 4 corner schools and Gonzaga against the Pac 12 all the while making the OuT administration look weak. Plus, having OU play only one game in the state of Texas and having Texas playing a late November game at Iowa State is considered a stroke of genius payback.

I’m okay with money. But I’m more okay with the Big XII schools having more opportunities to thrash them both, and send them running with their tails between their legs to the SEC.

Don’t be premature.

I don't find OU & Texas winning championships as an embarrassment to the other Big12 members. Heck it's embarrassing with Texas' and OU's money when they don't.

If they go for 2024 season, great. It allows the Big12 to move on.
If they stay, big deal. We've been playing OU for almost 100 years and Texas for 25+.

I don't feel TCU & KSU's success this past season was a one-off occurrence for the Big12

I hope we don't ever have to court SDSU anyway.

[Gonzo]

That'll help the per school payout.

 

[Gerbs]

Wonder if that means the big 12 got news from a couple pac 12 teams they are finally ready to jump ship

[CyGuy5]

I have never wanted to beat those two as badly as I do this year

 

[CoKane]

Good. It's finally over. Just get out.

 

[JP4CY]

Glad that this is happening.
