According to this article they will have their 2024-25 money withheld ($33M each) when they are in the SEC anyway. This is out of the B12 commish's mouth. What is more credible than that?

Do you have a better, credible source? Most articles were speculation and B12 commissioner spin. Their commish spun the numbers. Each team now gets $33M a year, not $40M. First he counted that $7M each as money withheld in 2023-24 when in reality it applied to every B12 team to pay for the new teams. It had nothing to do with the exit. Second he continued to inflate the numbers by $7M each for 2024-25. Then they are not receiving money ($33M) in a year they are not in the B12. Again spin. Reality nothing is being withheld when he claims $80M for 2024-25.

So he counted $7M in reduced 2023-24 payout that applied to all B12 teams as a "fee" for the exit (total BS). He counted the 2024-25 payout as $40M when in reality it is now $33M (2023 $7M + 2024 $40M = $47M). However that fake $40M is for 2024-25, when Texas and Oklahoma will be in the SEC! That is where the reported $50M each came from. It is actually $33M, not $50M and is withheld money from a season where neither are in the B12. It is fuzzy accounting. They actually paid nada.

What do you believe Texas and Oklahoma paid or had withheld?
