Texas and OU may leave, but they will pay the full GoR now. And ESPN? B12 is about to slam them with a huge lawsuit, unless ESPN pays up. ESPN was super sloppy here thinking they could kill the B12 like this, and push schools to the AAC. Even Fox could now consider suing ESPN over this, unless they played a role. If not, another tortious interference of contract claim from a different party.

ESPN is no one's friend but their own. And they mostly suck anymore. Be fine with them paying out huge dollars and taking a hit over this. The big firm attorneys have to be lining up to want this case.
