There is no renegotiation. The SEC is locked into their current (begins in 2024) deal until 2034. Texas and Oklahoma get an equal share but no SEC school gets additional money because of the addition of those two schools.
I am not so sure, but we will just agree to disagree. Contracts can always be renegotiated, and adding OU and UTa makes it more likely.
But honestly it really does not matter. The money the conferences make really will not change the athletic side very much. The SEC will always have the recruits, the weather and the desire. This is the reason why starting in 1950 the SEC averages 3 NC in football a decade.
Now the SEC is winning more titles in the other sports too. In the sports both conferences play, the SEC has such a lead that the Big Ten will never catch up
Since 2000, the Big Ten has won 1 NC in basketball, 2 in football, and none in baseball.

The SEC put all of their eggs in one basket in 2020 when they negotiated the deal. There is no escalation clause for adding additional schools. I'm not sure how they have negotiating power on A) a deal that hasn't begun yet and B) in which they have no leverage and already signed over their media rights.
Maybe you're right and it can be renegotiated but it's unlikely as the other side of the table has no need to reconsider or renegotiate.
ETA: A 10 year deal in the changing landscape today just was (in hindsight) a bad deal for the SEC.

ESPiN most likely won't renegotiate.
They are back in play for the Big 10 if it decides to add the 4 other PAC 12 teams.
All 4 networks are interested in the "After Dark" package on the West Coast if the Big 10 is involved.
