Though there was a belief that Texas and Oklahoma may have been attempting to exit the Big 12 one year early in 2024, sources told Dodd that Fox would likely have demanded a return to make its future programming whole, including a top-tier selection of games years into the future given the marquee programs would have left its airwaves early.
That's beyond what would have been a potentially massive early exit fee the programs would have needed to pay the Big 12 directly.
It's not money... Fox wants it's content and having 4 new schools does nothing for them.
