A recent study that was released this week found out the estimates of how much the Big 12 is about to lose with the likes of Texas football (namely among other sports) and the Oklahoma Sooners headed for the SEC. This study was conducted by the Perryman Group on the “Potential Economic Consequences of Texas and OU Leaving the Big 12 Conference”.
It is clear that the consequences of Texas and Oklahoma leaving the Big 12 are going to be pretty dire. We already knew that the two football programs that financially propped up the Big 12 were the Longhorns and Sooners.
