Big 12 Announces Agreement for Withdrawal of Oklahoma and Texas
The Big 12 announces that the Conference has agreed in principle to terms with the University of Oklahoma and The University of Texas at Austin to leave the Conference following the 2023-24 athletic year, one year earlier than originally announced, subject to final approval from the OU and UT governing Boards. Compensation to the Conference for the early withdrawals of the two schools totals $100 million in foregone distributable revenues, which OU and UT will be able to partially offset with future revenues.
Shoulda went for more (me who has never negotiated multi million dollar deals)
That reads like OU and UT won't get paid their media money by the conference this year, plus will need to pay the balance of what they owe after they move to the SEC?
That's gonna sting in the short term.

No idea. However, the guy who broke the story was on a podcast earlier in the week and was conjecturing on what the number may be. $100 mil was on the high end of what he thought were the possibilities.

No. I'm pretty sure they don't (which was part of the admission agreement)
Now it seems like there’s enough room for four pac 12 schools to leave when USC and UCLA leave and come on over.
