The SEC will make $300 million/year from just the SEC Game of the Week
(moving from CBS to ABC).
The pro rata share from the SEC media deal BEFORE adding Texas and Oklahoma was around $75M per year per team. That likely goes up with Texas and Oklahoma added.
The Big 12's pro rata share is around $35M per year per team.
Given these numbers, the $80M buyout doesn't seem so daunting and is likely justifiable in even the short-term financial plan. Plus, Texas and Oklahoma boosters and season-ticket holders will be thrilled by a schedule that replaces Baylor, TCU, and Kansas with Arkansas, LSU, and Missouri and exchanges out West Virginia for Florida, Alabama, Georgia, or Auburn. That will have a big impact in ticket sales and donation revenue.

It's been reported that if OU and UT want to jump by 2022 (prior to the 2025 GOR), they'd each owe $80 million.
