I sure hope that's not true. Seems like between ESPN and the SEC they should be able come up with the $ to make next year the last.

Highly unlikely. BYU joins the Big 12 for the 2023 season. The other teams join in 2024 at the latest. So good chance 2023. Neither Texas or Oklahoma voted for the expansion. Yet they would be expected to share revenue for those seasons with teams they did not vote to share with?? Lawyers would have a field day with that one. Odds are there will be an agreement to lessen the buyout money to ensure a smooth transition to the new Big 12. This guy is just throwing stuff at the walls for clicks.

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks all.

Apologies if this was already posted, but did Casey Thompson have to have surgery on his wrist/thumb?

Its looking good for Harris and Brooks 

Gerry at IT thinks we land a WR tomorrow, obviously not Winfield or Red so that leaves us with Stewart or Preston

Red committed to someone else? I missed that. I thought he was a strong lean our way.

Red is being recruited as a RB

Thanks. I thought it was either, or.

Red will be used both at WR and RB and may return punts.

Yes, he's still a strong lean our way. I expect him to sign his LOI tomorrow.

I’d be happy for Stan, but hate to see him go.  Hell of a recruiter.  Great coach.  Kids love him.

We should loan them the money.

Then make them an offer they can’t refuse.

Its more or less half the story.

Texas and OU did not vote for the new incoming members. Therefore, there will be a scheduling issue coming when BYU and then the others join the league.

I fully expect the Big 12 to lighten the load to enable an early exit for UT, OU. Otherwise, both schools take the conference to court.

Just thinking out loud here . . . how would UT pull off a successful lawsuit over that? The conference voted to add teams. Just like it voted to stop allowing partial qualifiers. Nebraska got nowhere legally and left.

The only angle I think you have here is that Texas and OU were EXCLUDED by the conference from voting on the additions. If that happened, then IMO they have a case.

There lies your leverage for a reduced buyout.
