So I knew the GOR didn’t end till 2025, but I thought the exit fee was if they left before then as well. I didn’t know they both would have to pay in excess of 60M even if they waited till the end of the current media deal.
Damn!
That’s a-lot of money.
Especially considering the current B12 deal only pays, 31M per year. I know Texas has it, but does OU?

UT has been in the SEC since its inception.

I'd like the conference to just pay it off and get them here next year. New schedules, basketball, baseball. All good stuff and opportunities when they join.

Actually they will pay $60-80M (depending on negotiations) even if they leave in 2025, that is planned and OU can afford it. That has always been a given. If they leave before the TV deal has ended they risk paying a total that is well into the $100M range, likely around $110-120M. I've always thought that this was not worth it, unless ESPN got involved. It is clear that neither Texas OR OU wants to pay that, it's just not in their best interest. For instance, T4&8 and Mizzou paid $12.41M back in 2011, which is peanuts in comparison even when adjusted for inflation.

It’s not really in anyone’s interest for them to join before playoff expansion.

Seems like OU "could" make the $60M deal happen if pressed, but would heavily prefer not to from everything I've seen.
Revenue losses in the covid season makes things tighter for pretty much every program short of a small handful.

Expansion? What we need 'round here is come contraction, am I right? Get them yankee lib-ur-al Missourah Tigers the hell on out of here. What do they even add? We already have some proper Tigers in this conference. I'll tell you what they add: a poop swastika. I never been outside of my hometown, but I can tell you hand on my heart that Columbia, Missourah is the worst place in the whole U-nited States and its existence is an affront to all proper southerners. And don't look at them electoral maps or read any history about that state because they are full of leftist lies.

Amazing how these two programs have kicked the can down the road and won't officially join the SEC until after the CFP expansion.
