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.

And that was after the Big 12 tried to appease Texas A&M by giving them Nebraska’s slice of the pie from the previous year.
They took the money and still left. Class move by the cannon shooters.

Cheaper than buying out Jimbo.
