It's SEC or bust for these guys, and they aren't concerned about the Grant of Rights, as they believe the boosters can more than make up for the gut punch if and when they leave. Not to mention the revenue they believe they can generate locally.
It's not just a matter of OU foregoing a conference TV rights share, it would be the fact that any SEC games played at OU could not be televised under the SEC's TV deal for the duration of the GOR. The SEC isn't going to send teams into a TV black hole. So, even if OU were to be of interest to the SEC (which I'm skeptical about), it won't happen until the GOR expires.
