I saw an Instagram post that led me to believe a deal has been struck and Texas leaves the Big 12 next year (2024). But the post didn't specifically say that...

That would be awesome,  but my hopes have been dashed many times. I'll believe it when I see an official announcement.

I think we were already on the hook for 80 million if we left after 2024, so you could interpret this as a 20 million payment to get us out a year early.

It will be interesting to see where the money comes from. It seems like the SEC and ESPN are both winners so maybe they will supply some of the buyout.  I also wonder what Fox gets out of the deal.
