As a Sooner, this seems like a win/win


We've got the pro rata clause, so the networks are going to have to pony-up for whoever we add (so more money for existing Big 12 schools for the time being). Then when the contract comes up for renegotiation in a few years, Fox/ESPN low-ball us because we now have so many crap programs that aren't worth paying that much money for. As a result, OU says "screw it, we can make more money somewhere else," and proceeds to get the hell out of this crap conference. 2025 can't get here fast enough.
