Texas/ Bama had very good ratings. The conference heard cha-Ching!

I think the Bama game was the largest crowd ever at Memorial Stadium

It's in the best interests of the SEC to ensure OU matchups with Georgia, Alabama, Florida, etc.  They'll make sure it happens often enough to keep it interesting. 

Same thing goes for Texas, of course.

I'm really coming around to the idea of each team having three perma-rivals, that are unique, instead of pods which might lock some teams into annual matchups that are less desirable for them and their fanbases.  Just because it's absolutely perfect for Texas to play OU, TAMU, and Arkansas every year, doesn't mean the Ags share the same desire to play Texas, OU, and Arkansas.  Creating some flexibility via perma-rivals will make for more interesting matchups longterm.  My opinion, of course.
I like that idea too, and--from my distant vantage point--I think that's how it's going to be.
Determining the two participants in the CCG should be "interesting." The tie-breakers might constitute a pretty long list.

Apparently, Greg Sankey (SEC commish) said over the weekend that the fact that the UT @ Bama game for 2023 has not been canceled is a good indicator that OU and Texas will not be entering the SEC before the 2023 season.

No.
UT visits Bama next year--2023. And that game is not being cancelled, unlike the games OU had scheduled vs. Tennessee and Georgia.
So, we will not enter the SEC until after the 2023 season.

Y'all are saying the same thing.

Cleanest language would be to say something like, "won't be entering until after the 2023/2024 schoolyear has been completed."

If true that's definitely disappointing.  I really don't have any desire to stick around the B12 Frankenconference for just one season after the new teams join.  It'll be really messy. The B12 really shouldn't want it either, it's in their best interests to begin creating a brand identity exclusive of Texas and OU.

From the Big 12's scheduling perspective, OU and Texas should leave in the summer of 2023 or the summer of 2025. OU and Texas leaving in the summer of 2024 would seem to be the worst choice. They have to create a 2023 schedule with 14 teams--including OU and Texas--in it. Then, in 2024, they have to flip the home-and-away status while eliminating all the games that would have featured the two departing teams to create a 12-team schedule. Certainly not impossible, but inconvenient.

I suppose the TV networks and the SEC could decide to shovel a pile of money to the Big 12 to help them make that decision

There's talk that ESPN might buy out CBS's final year of SEC broadcasting so that CBS can fulfill their contractual obligation to the B1G in their new agreement.  If that happens then they'll want to shift that Texas/OU content to the SEC as quickly as possible.  ESPN could overpay the B12 to help make the transition occur sooner, they've done such things before.  That's all just internal funny money to them, really.

But the problem is Fox-- they'd lose access to Texas/OU B12 programming a year earlier.  How can they be made whole? Not sure there's really any solution to that.

ESPN could write a check to FOX, but we know that's the absolute last thing they want to do.  And FOX would REALLY stick it to them on the amount.

not likely a tall

Ed Zachary,

Ultimately Texas and OU can still move whenever they like, their contracts are with the B12, not with Fox, and those departure negotiations are occurring with the B12 and not the broadcasting partners.  But on the ESPN side, money can be hustled and shifted around to smooth the transition.  That's not true on the Fox side.
