The Big 12 Conference has announced that the Conference has agreed in principle to terms with the University of Oklahoma and The University of Texas at Austin to leave the Conference following the 2023-24 athletic year, one year earlier than originally announced, subject to final approval from the OU and UT governing Boards.
Compensation to the Conference for the early withdrawals of the two schools totals $100 million in foregone distributable revenues, which OU and UT will be able to partially offset with future revenues.
On July 1, 2023, the Big 12 welcomes new members BYU, Central Florida, Cincinnati and Houston to the Conference, and will compete as a 14-team league for the 2023-24 season.
