Texas, Oklahoma Ready To Take Step Toward SEC

July 26, 2021 3:56 am

UNDATED (AP) – Texas and Oklahoma could move closer to membership in the Southeastern Conference within 24 hours.  According to multiple reports, the first and very significant formal step of the process could come as soon as Monday. That’s when the two schools are expected to inform the Big 12 they will not renew the contractual agreement that binds conference members until 2025.
The schools would likely negotiate an early exit that could cost the schools more than $100 million. But with the rich SEC on the horizon, the schools could leave the Big 12 early and change conferences in time for the 2022 college football season.
