The departure/arrival for Texas and Oklahoma is the reason for the log jam among the other conferences.
The only debate is a financial one, involving how much money in exit fees must be paid and how quickly.
In the case of the SEC and Oklahoma and Texas, money is NOT a deal-breaking issue. According to several sources, Texas was ready to sign the deal in September so it could move to the SEC next season.
Oklahoma has been the reluctant partner, which also seems ridiculous if you how much more money the Sooners can make in the SEC than in the Big 12.
There is no reason why this cant or shouldn't be settled in the next few weeks with an announcement coming that in Sept of 2023, OU and Texas will be full playing members in the SEC.
Once that happens, UCF, , Houston and BYU can join the Big 12 and the other conference moves can also be finalized.
