| Even on the eve of the college football season, conference realignment never stops. On Wednesday, reports surfaced that the Big 12 is entering renegotiation talks with ESPN and FOX on a new TV rights deal, a similar move to the Pac 12. As a result, CBS Dennis Dodd reported that there are active discu sions about Oklahoma and Texas departing the Big 12 for the SEC before 2025. Friday, Oklahoma athletics director Joe Castiglione said nothing has changed Jordan Bowden Jersey for him or OU in the last week. No, . Weve said all along that were going to fulfill our obligations through the 2024-25 ( Julius Erving Jersey athletic year), and thats our plan. Now people listening are not naive. There are many things happening around college sports. And if that facilitates, nece sitates or creates a reason to have a conversation with the two schools, Oklahoma and Texas, about staying through 2025, then it does. That would come from the Big 12, not from us. And so if (the) Big 12 sees their busine s of the future needing to take shape at a different timetable, then there will be conversations. But until then were focused on what we said we would do, just fulfill our obligations and complete the contracts that are in place and be ready to transition into the SEC July 1, 2025.Since the impending move to the SEC was announced, Castiglione Tyler Johnson Jersey has never wavered about the timeline for the move. But in the past year, Oklahoma Andre Roberson Jersey and Texas havent been the only schools bitten by the conference realignment bug. Scroll to ContinueThis summer the Big Ten made waves by adding USC and UCLA, sending the Pac 12 into a panic. Recently, reports have also surfaced that Oregon and Washington have entered preliminary discu sions with the Big Ten, putting the Pac 12 on life support. After OU and Texas announced their moves last summer, the Big 12 acted quick in adding Cincinnati, UCF, Houston and BYU to the fold, as those D'Angelo Russell Jersey schools are slated to enter the conference ahead of the 2023 season. The TV negations for the Big 12, Big Ten, Pac 12 and SEC have been fluid over the past year as the tectonic plates of collegiate athletics continue to shift. But one things for certain by 2025, the Sooners and the Longhorns will be members of the SEC, regardle s of the chaotic environment surrounding college sports.
