They did a good job keeping this under wraps, and then finalizing it in a hurry, though the deal was obviously done a few weeks back.  July 1, 2025.

We have a few seasons before it happens.  The game is changing.  In another decade they could be playing flag football.
It'll be much sooner than 2025.  They just have to say that to keep the lawyers off their backs.

I'll be surprised if it's not Fall 2022.  Every day spent as a lame duck is a day more of risk that you don't want to have to manage.

Just watched the OU BOR meeting.  It took 2hr and 20 minutes :34:. They accepted the invitation unanimously in the last 10 minutes or so.  I haven't seen President Harroz speak before and I have to say he is a very impressive speaker.  He laid out a timeline with all the changes to CFB, explained why & when decided to move, why Texas not OSU, etc.
He did say OU intended to keep the Bedlam rivalry in all sports.  Throughout the meeting everyone was careful to say OU was leaving in 2025. ;)

Yup.  They'll keep saying that... until they don't. :)

It's been fascinating over the past week, watching how things unfolded so quickly, and knowing all of the massive amount of work and time that's been put into this over the past year or more, to get to this point.  This was an executive-level quick-strike carried about by teams of seasoned pros.  It's shocking that nothing leaked until just last week.

Yeah, both Joe H & Joe C said they didn't intend for the announcement to come so soon and that they "would have made calls" to the commissioner and other ADs if it hadn't been leaked.  (we really need an eye roll emoji)

One point they made was that the Big 12 was last in line when new media contracts were made and that was significant because prime TV slots were taken by other conferences and teams.

I still think all of the hubbub over the 11 AM timeslots is sort of weird.

I mean, I disllike early kickoffs as much as the next guy, but that's the NATIONAL timeslot for both ABC and Fox, and it's been that way for the past two decades.  The B12 wasn't intentionally trying to screw over OU, it's just that the Sooners have been the best team in the league for the past decade, so they're the natural pick for the networks' premier broadcasting timeslot.

the hubbub was a smoke screen to kickoff the move to the SEC SEC SEC

wondering if I'll hear the SEC SEC SEC chant in Norman around 1pm central in Norman on Sept. 18th

The Big12 conference leadership has until 2025 to add some teams.  Yes, it could happen faster if Texas and Oklahoma end up buying their way out.  What is the buyout?  $74 million each?  That would be quite the cash windfall for the remaining Big12.  The Big12 will remain a Power 5 so I'm not seeing too much of a downside either way.

There's pretty much zero chance that Texas and OU will stay in the B12 until 2025 and there's also pretty much zero chance Texas and OU will pay anywhere close to the full buyout.

OU and Texas will pay $30.6 million each to leave the Big 12 early.
