Looks like the Big 12 will have almost four years to twist in the wind....unless there is a negotiated separation......

Oklahoma and Texas have taken the necessary step toward joining the SEC and forming college football's first superconference. On Tuesday, the two schools filed a joint letter formally requesting admission to the conference beginning on July 1, 2025.

"The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Oklahoma sent the request below to Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey this morning," the statement reads. "The joint request seeks an invitation for membership in the SEC starting on July 1, 2025. The two universities look forward to the prospect of discussions regarding the matter."

I am hearing that the Chairman of the UT Board of Regents intends for UT to play in the SEC In 2022 and at worst in 2023.

well it would certainly not help the Big 12 brand if OU and/or UT won football conference championships between now and July 2025.

I would imagine some settlement is negotiated that would place some value on the Big 12 losing TV money that they would have gotten if UT and OU stayed around until 2025
