According to Joe Trahan, Oklahoma and Texas will notify the Big 12 next week that the programs won’t renew their media contracts.
That’s a very big step towards leaving the conference.
#BREAKING: Early next week, the @TexasLonghorns and @UofOklahoma will send a letter to the @Big12Conference stating that neither school will renew their media contracts when they expire in 2025.
Major changes in college football to follow.

It’s crazy that we just heard about this situation for the first time Wednesday, and we’re now already hearing chatter about the programs not renewing media contracts.
A lot of programs talk about moving around when contracts are close to expiring. It’s a way to get some leverage.
However, very few actually do it. If Oklahoma and Texas are seriously not renewing their media contracts, then it’s a crystal clear sign that both are serious about dipping from the Big 12.

Buckle up, folks, because things are fixing to get out of control once the Sooners and Texas bolt. We’re about to see chaos that is going to dwarf what we’ve ever seen before when it comes to conference realignment.
