Bevo’s Daily Roundup: Will Texas, Oklahoma’s time in Big 12 overlap with new members?

The Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners are leaving the Big 12 for the SEC.

You know that. I know that. Your mother knows that. Everyone knows that by now.

And according to some of the latest reporting, the Big 12 also plans to add the Houston Cougars, the BYU Cougars, the Cincinnati Bearcats and the UCF Golden Knights, at last bringing Big 12’s number of teams to match, well, the conference’s name once again.

Among the many, many, many, many questions at hand for how the latest round of realignment will go down in the coming years and seasons, however, is: Will the six aforementioned teams’ time in the conference overlap?

There’s insight into this particular question, too – thanks to The Athletic.

In fact, it’s possible if the four new Big 12 schools follow through with their reported intention of joining the conference in 2023, which would a require a negotiated fee for three of the schools to leave the American Conference. Texas and Oklahoma, as has also been previously reported, have stuck to their guns in saying that they plan to stick around until 2025. But will they? That probably depends on who you ask, and when you ask it.

Also, are there a million other moving pieces that make that possibility less and less likely?

The short answer: yes.

So, no, it doesn’t seem likely, y’all. The times are a’changing. Fast.
