Be 5 years....probably right....strike while iron is hot...
....But...
lot of teams have lot of contracts with other non-big 12 teams for games...
......and ......
Things have to be rescheduled and games bought out....
all doable.....but....
has to be worked out
Texas and Oklahoma have officially begun their transition from the Big 12 to the SEC. The two schools announced Monday they will not renew their grant of rights agreement with the Big 12, though they plan to "honor their existing ... agreements" through the 2024-25 term.

The statements mark the first step to the Longhorns and Sooners' journey to the SEC

They said they won't renew their deal with the Big12.. How are you thinking that would work out?
Regarding Big 12 media rights:
"Their TV contracts with ESPN and Fox contain language that allows the Big 12 networks to reduce payouts if there is a loss of membership.
"When you're losing two of the most visible programs, the network has the right to come and say, 'We're going to reduce the rights by X.'" one longtime, high-profile administrator said.
That means the Big 12 deal could drop from $37 million in annual revenue to as low as $9 million per school. Considering there aren't two schools available that come close to replacing the value of Texas and Oklahoma, the Big 12 is in troubled waters to say the least."

Just hoping they are not a package deal. Would love to see a no vote on Texas. However, I suspect it was a done deal before the story broke.
Some interesting tidbits:
First and 10: Inside the pursuit to poach Texas and Oklahoma ā¦ and what it means for the new SEC

There is no going back. Media rights will be reduced so low there will be no Big 12.
They won't renew their media rights now/today. They can't renew their rights if they plan on moving. If the move falls apart, the Big12 would take them back. The rights aren't due today. If the Big12 added Whatsamatter U in September, WU would sign their media rights in September. How could WU sign their media rights in September and not TX or OU? It's a moot point since all signs are pointing to TX and OU leaving. Right now they (TX, OU, SEC Office, other SEC members) are dotting the Is and crossing the Ts.

Was listening to ESPNU on Sirius earlier this morning and they had Heather Dumba$$ (Dinich) on. Being the B1G homer she is, she said she's hearing Texas and OU could "shop" their move to other conferences to get the best deal. When she was pressed by the host a bit, she backed off just a little saying that the SEC is the leading candidate, but if she were other conference heads, she'd be calling and asking what it would take to land them. Didn't they report that Sankey had already been talking with them for weeks on this? Ah speculation, what would these mediot "experts" do without it???

Good read from a writer not real fond of UT

Chatelain: Enjoy the SEC, Texas. Your mediocrity won't be forgiven there
Despite winning just one national championship in the last 50 years, Texas is storming through college football like a Longhorn in a china shop. But the SEC won't be as

What a coup it would be if the Big 10 (+ 4) were to steal away Texas and Chokelahoma when all reports are that they are going to the SEC.
It would be even better for the ACC if they could somehow lure those 2 away. It would give that conference much more legitimacy in football, especially if they could finally get the Domers too.

Until it's officially announced. . .
