“We’ll announce next years schedule in early December, which is pretty much what has been done previously,” Yormark said. Additionally, each Big 12 team will play each other at least one time over the two-year period and traditional rivalries will be preserved. The Big 12 will remain divisionless and each team will play a nine-game conference schedule. Regarding the schedule for the next two seasons, Yormark provided some details on the format today. The Big 12 currently consists of 10 teams, but will expand to 14 for the 20 seasons with the addition of BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF. However, officials are in the midst of on-going negotiations over the exit fee. The exit fee, stemming from an agreement they made years ago, is required even if they stay through the grant of rights. The schools already owe the league a mandatory exit fee of $80 million each. Leaving a year early would require the two schools to pay a cumulative, estimated price tag of more than $100 million. Here’s more on that from Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated. Oklahoma and Texas could attempt to negotiate an early exit from the Big 12, however, but that would require a hefty buyout. So Oklahoma and Texas would then join the SEC on Jand compete in the league in football that fall season. To clarify, the Big 12’s grant of rights officially expires on June 30, 2025, which marks the end of the 2024-25 NCAA academic calendar year.

And they are full members and we’re looking forward to working with them.” And my relationship with both Texas and Oklahoma is very, very strong. So they’ll be here through the duration (of the grant of rights). “They’ve committed themselves in advance of me getting here and they’ve reiterated that commitment.
“They’re going to be here through ‘25,” Yormark said. Both the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns are set to depart the Big 12 and join the SEC in 2025.
Speaking to reporters at the Big 12 Basketball Tipoff inside Kansas City’s T-Mobile Center, Yormark remarked on his discussions with the two schools. The Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns will remain in the Big 12 Conference through the 2024 season, new conference commissioner Brett Yormark said on Tuesday.
