I think you mean OU/TU's lawyers said that

Oklahoma and Texas can't just come out and say they are bailing out early for fear that would be used against them in litigation.

They will wait to see how the scramble goes, who else in the Big 12 finds landing spots, etc., and negotiate an early release, just like others have done in the past. They know they are stuck for 2021-22 at minimum so they have time to work a deal.

OU/UT saying they plan to finish out their BigXII commitment thru 2025. -- Maroon Baboon 07/26/2021 1:38PM

I'm not sure that's what they said.** -- hok1eboy 07/26/2021 4:50PM

Doesn't make total sense to me -- DarylS 07/26/2021 3:54PM

Either that or wait to see if others are going to leave. No big 12 no got ** -- VTNSC 07/26/2021 6:36PM

OU/Texas would lose a lot if they don’t go to SEC for 2022 (link) -- Colonel Jessup 07/26/2021 2:34PM

It the SEC and Texas/OU are so big time, they should just write the check -- Maroon Baboon 07/26/2021 2:45PM

Just math, too. Texas/OU each lose $100M by being in Big12 vs. SEC -- Colonel Jessup 07/26/2021 2:49PM

Agree on the "We'll see" part -- Roanokie 07/26/2021 2:33PM

It's a lot of money -- Millpoint 07/26/2021 2:22PM

It means their buy out is higher than they want to pay, and/or... -- EDGEMAN 07/26/2021 1:51PM

If SEC defrays the exit costs, they gone.... ** -- VT ChemE 1986 07/26/2021 1:48PM

That would basically mean that the SEC would shoulder the vast majority -- IV_Hokie12 07/26/2021 1:54PM

Don't know details but probably just to cover their contractual arse(s). -- LonghornHokie 07/26/2021 1:40PM

I imagine the BigXII members would prefer to bide their time. ** -- Maroon Baboon 07/26/2021 1:42PM
