UT and OU to SEC in 2024

lol you mean you have to sacrifice a game like UAB or the Citadel to play Michigan st instead? 9 game conference schedule is where it's at and with the expanded CFP.. playing another good program OOC is not going to hurt you if you lose

It’s already fucked over next year’s OOC since we had to cancel the home and home with Oklahoma and now we’re playing some sister of the poor team instead.

Georgia Tech being on the OOC schedule every year really boogers things up for UGA. There’s plenty of other big time OOC matchups on future schedules, but I have zero doubt they’re gonna be scrapped too.

Fact remains that no team playing a 9 game conference schedule has won a natty during the playoff era.

The amount of non UGA games I watch has gone down every year, and this ain’t gonna get me to go back to dedicating my entire Fall Saturday to college football again

I can't believe they are paying $100 million or $50 million each to get out early as that is a huge chunk of change. Looks like Texas pulled in 163 million last year and Oklahoma pulled in 126 million. Even spread over two years it's a 25 million-a-year hit for both schools.

Honestly, I would have thought both would want more time to build rosters for the SEC play.

Now the SEC will have to start putting out some scheduling information soon so we can see how this is actually going to work.
 
Been too busy to get very far into this but how did this get past the GOR? All parties agree to terms and that’s that I’m assuming?

Rumor is they are at $ 70 Million once they join the SEC. I guess that made it attractive. (I would think they could make $ 20 Million staying in Big12 though but maybe not).

There might be other figures we are missing outside of the TV contracts such as merchandising, etc.

Everything is negotiable.. even GORs filed in Delaware.

Yeah this seasons earnings and next year earnings will go toward paying it's 50 mil buyout.. But both schools will still take home money..

BTW, the rumored $ 70 Million is for an 8-game conference schedule. SEC is still negotiating with ESPN about a 9-game conference schedule which, IMO, has to happen with 16 teams.

yes because if they stick to 8.. format will be 1 permanent game, 7 rotating games.. not gonna work.

The best format to me is all 12 team conferences with 8 game conference schedules and a mandatory minimum of two P5 OOC games every year. You’re still playing all your conference foes fairly regularly that way, and the OOC isn’t gonna be Georgia Tech and two cupcakes every year. The high profile OOC games are the most exciting for me, and this pretty eliminates them

What are you even talking about? Conference expansion doesn't affect OOC scheduling. The CFP expansion does, in a good way. Because you can now lose a game or two and be in the CFP, you are going to get rewarded for playing strong schedules, IC and OOC. They will take a 2 loss UGA over a 1 loss FSU, or at least rank them higher, if UGA loses to Bama, but beats LSU, OU and UT in the IC, and then plays and loses to Clemson in an OOC game. When they see that FSU also lost to Clemson and played a bunch of Pitt and BC level games, SOS will matter.

They will scrap some of the OOC games - UCLA coming into the B1G could make that series go away. That would suck .. we played them in Athens when I was in law school. The tOSU game might be in jeopardy due to the B1G expansion, but it's a while off. I hope the years where we have two really tough OOC go away. We some years where we play teams like tOSU and Clemson in the same year. I am against that now if we go to a 9 team IC schedule. But Smart is on the record for loving good OOC games, especially to start the year.

The SEC will get to the $100+ million mark per team two ways:

- The ESPN contract getting renegotiated with they go to 9 teams and 6-3-3 format.

- When the CFP goes from $400 million to $1.8 billion per year, and the way money gets distributed is more like March Madness where you get more if you have more teams that go further.

I'm glad UT is keeping the series with tosu and UM alive.. People worrying too much about hard schedules.. just play the games.. elite teams figure out how to navigate a tough schedule or a soft schedule.. shit works out in the end

The SI article that was posted said $ 70 Million.

That's with the new ESPN contract in 2024. Basically replacing CBS on Saturday at 3pm. That doesn't include what they will get when (1) they renegotiate for the new 9 game IC, with 6-33 format, and (2) the expanded CFP where the SEC will get more money for having multiple teams that go further into the CFP.
