Mavric Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Quote The negotiations for Oklahoma and Texas to leave the Big 12 a year early and join the SEC in 2024 have stalled and a deal is not expected to come to fruition, sources told ESPN on Friday morning. After weeks of negotiations, Texas and Oklahoma are still slated to join the SEC in 2025. Sources said the parties couldn't come to terms amid a complex negotiation involving two schools, two networks (ESPN and Fox) and the Big 12. Sources said the sides couldn't agree on how to create equitable value for what Fox would lose in 2024 -- the equivalent of seven football games featuring Oklahoma and Texas that command premium advertising. The negotiations heated up over the past few days, with the Big 12 meetings late this week doubling as an unofficial deadline to get a deal done. ESPN 1 Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 From SI article .... SEC administrators are expected to determine a format this spring. While many administrators are now leaning to move to a division-less, nine-game conference schedule, additional revenue from ESPN is a missing piece in that decision. With more inventory—an extra league game—the conference wants more cash. In the nine-game format, each team would play three permanent opponents and a rotation of six others, assuring that each member would meet every team in the league twice in a four-year cycle—once at home and once away. Hmmmm .... Exactly the same format as proposed Big 10 schedule. SEC=16 teams .... B1G=16 teams. If approved, good chance Husker schedule will be a permanent opponents .... Iowa, Gophers and Badgers. Or perhaps NW instead of UW. see https://fbschedules.com/2024-oklahoma-football-schedule/ Of course SEC keep Red River Rivalry (permanent foes). And I think bedlam too .... non-conference Gooners vs OkieLite (annual). Just like Hawkeyes vs Cyclones. Quote Link to comment
