This looks more like a negotiating tactic to get more money from the little children. They are announcing they will not renew the new grant of rights in 2025.
"both universities will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving collegiate athletics landscape as they consider how best to position their athletics programs for the future."
I'm waiting on the official, "tu and Ou signed an agreement to enter the SEC". I'm gauging that they will take from the little kids in the b12 in order to make $56 million/yr for oU and tU ONLY. This is how they operate. I wish stankey would take notice to their childish games.
I disagree. Announcing no renewal takes away the conference’s ability to negotiate a new television deal that would create more money that would mostly go to UT/OU.

I disagree with your disagreement 
Not continuing the current agreement doesn't prevent a whole separate agreement from being created.
The problem is the Big 12 has been a dead conference for a while. Can they squeeze more blood out of the turnip? Maybe, but at some point, there won't be any left.
If I'm the remaining 8 schools. I band together, force them to pay the exit fee, then everyone jumps ship to where ever they are end up. At least you get a going away bonus!
It will be interesting to see what kind of pressure other conferences put on the remaining schools. Take Kansas for instance. If the B10 comes knocking, do you say, "We want in, but we have to wait a year or two". Will the offer still be good in a year or two or does the B10 say now or never.
