It’s sneaky but potentially profitable.
Why would the conference adding new teams result in OU and UT getting out of their financial obligations to the league whether it be a buyout or whatever it is? What incentive does the league have to forgive one penny of what it is owed by those two schools? I’d think they’d want to get everything they’re owed.
