Where Will the Money Go If There Are No Oklahoma State Seasons?

With Oklahoma State staring at what could be a $77 million problem this fall if football doesn’t happen, I thought it would be interesting to explore where all that money is going.

Let’s start here and use some very round numbers.

The annual Big 12 payout to Oklahoma State (and other Big 12 schools) these days is around $40 million. This year projects to be a little under that (more on this in a minute), but that’s the very broad figure OSU is working with as it pertains to conference distribution. You can read more about that here.
