**** If FOX views OU-Texas as it’s “ratings grabber” Big 12 showpiece but then knows the game isn’t going to happen, would they soften their position on allowing an earlier exit?” Why would the Big 12 simply allow OU/TX to walk away without penalty?*** Why would the Big 12 forego scheduling its marquee Conf game? Both of those are moronic ideas

  • If the City of Dallas knew it was about to lose a $50M weekend, would it add a few million to the “kitty” to allow the early exit and OU-Texas happens in '24 as part of SEC schedule?” Why would the city of Dallas pay a Conf to schedule a game that is already going to happen? Again……a moronic idea.

  • OU-Texas would not make or break the Big 12 schedule. If OU and Texas draw the most eyeballs, wouldn’t it be arguably even more beneficial to have them playing at separate, fresh Big 12 venues?” OU-TX is the marquee Conf matchup. Period. INTENTIONALLY foregoing that game would be ……moronic. You think you could make that revenue/ratings up by having OU-BYU or TX-UCF? No. You cannot.

Why would the Big 12 want/allow OU/TX to leave early?

Are you actually dumb enough to think @robert28 and I are the same person you haven’t read our posts. We think similar but not all the same

@CowPokeMike22 they might not be the same but Michael 13 hasn’t had an original thought since he got on here. Just Robert’s mini me.

If somehow some way the Big 12 was petty enough to not schedule OU vs TX the two schools would scramble to set up the game as non conference. It would still generate the revenue for the two schools and the Big 12 would just look incompetent…. Actually that sounds pretty much like what they would do.

The arrogance of OU and Texas on their way out the door, with a 14-team scheduling task, to think they will dictate their game on the second weekend in October is so typical.

The end goal is to get these two programs to the SEC in '24. The Big 12 could say “these two schools won’t be scheduled to play each other in '24.” The Big 12 could say “as we work to fairly and equitably build the '24 schedule for all members, there is no guarantee OU and Texas will be a scheduled.”

Either statement would have FOX execs take notice. And might be enough for FOX to get out of the way.

What if the two teams scrambled and scheduled a September contest? What does that do for the Texas State Fair? Who televises the game? LHN Network? :slight_smile: And one team is guaranteed a loss before even entering Big 12 play. Lawsuits a’plenty, for sure. Possibly even injunctions.

Yormark and the Big 12 will probably stay on the high road and allow the history of the game to continue. But the thought of going nuclear is enticing.

I really can live with 1 more of inconveniences if uo and down horns feel the pain. It would be nice to have them pay for a year.

What has OU/TX done or said in regards to scheduling that gives this statement any truth whatsoever? I’m not sure if you’re aware of how leagues work, but you may go check out some other Conferences & how they treat some rivalry games.

I’m tired of hearing about these two. I want them gone but not before paying up.

If ou and texas are the adults in the room why do neither post their 23 schedule on the school sites

To hell with Fox and their money, the fan bases of the remaining teams (the ones who will keep paying Fox after OU/Texas leave), want y’all out now. Well…maybe not all of em. Just me. :joy:
