re: The exit fees and lawsuits are gonna cost an ungodly sum

The problem really is ESPN, OU and Texas pulled the trigger too soon. And that move was probably predicated on ESPN’s plan to find a way around those fees by dissolving the conference, but the remains Big 12 teams would rather get that money they will never get close to again. The SEC is ok because it takes a very safe posture on all situations like this.

I personally didn’t expect a move until 2023 because by then the exit costs would be much cheaper to pay. This 2022 acceleration is turning into a gamble for all parties.
