I don't think it is really the big 12 at this point as much as Fox. It sounds like the Big 12 realized how much of a disaster scheduling was this year and wants to get back to a functional rotation without Texas and OU. Its not Texas or OU paying money but Fox wanting the big draw inventory and more importantly making sure that that inventory doesn't get on ESPN.
The other issue is that it drags out any form of attempts to peel off some of the Pac-12 schools (which the B12 wants but most likely Fox is leery of).

Sources said the sides couldn't agree on how to create equitable value for what Fox would lose in 2024 -- the equivalent of seven football games featuring Oklahoma and Texas that command premium advertising.
This piece out of the ESPN article is pretty telling...
So what are the 7 games that Fox loses that command premium advertising?

Wow that means UGA will finally be going to College Station in 2024. Honestly, I figured Oklahoma and Texas would start in 2024, the schedules would be changed, and Florida would go to College Station again and UGA wouldn't.
