The SEC money is very good, but not anywhere near close to $50m/year better than Big 12 + LHN payments. It has to be that much better to break even. No amount of "emotional harm", which neither Texas nor Oklahoma seem to be suffering in the least, can overcome that level of fiduciary responsibility.

So the Big 12 will have 14 school in 2023-24 and 2024-25. Their media supporters appear to be quite happy to pay for that.

Stu the day OU and UT come to play the SEC will earn 20 million more per school. The LHN and B12 revenue equals 58 million next year, a sum OU doesn't get. The SEC will jump from 55 million (54.8 last year) to ~75.5 and that's 17 million more than B12 and LHN.

I think it happens in Fall of '23. Each will have served a 2 year notice. The B12 will have added inventory and completing their contracted payouts will be easy for the nets and many of those schools will still want to schedule them. No monetary damage for the contracted period and no loss of the number of games (actually an increase) and no damages. Just an exit fee.

I'm inclined to think 2023 still. 4 years is an awful long time as a lame duck. Not sure anyone has stayed more than 2 years.
