They're targeting 2024 but I'm still wondering how the Big 12 is going to work out a season or two of bloat as in accepting expansion before losing OU and Texas
https://www.cbssports.com/college-fo...ame%20timeline.
Even for Texas and Oklahoma, it's an enormous amount of money to leave early. I think most expect they'll be out by 2024, which would lead to one year with the B12 newcomers, but I think the B12 will make it extra costly to get out a year earlier in 2023. Even if you're Texas and Oklahoma, at some point, leaving a year early just doesn't make financial sense no matter how awkward it'll be for everyone involved in 2023. I'm sure if they're willing to pay the B12 whatever exorbitant amount it'll take to let them out in 2023, the conference will accept it. Regardless, I don't see any way the B12 is at those 14 members past 2023.
I just do not see how it benefits the Big 12 to have Oklahoma (or maybe Texas) winning their conference the next 2-3 seasons. If I was running the Big 12, I am trying to work out a deal both sides can accept and get on with building the new brand before the next TV deal. I get that many Cincy, UCF and BYU fans think they are going to come in and be able to take it from Oklahoma, but I would bet heavy on they will be disappointed.
