Texas, Oklahoma to leave Big 12 for SEC in 2024
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian believes the Longhorns will improve on the disappointing 2021 campaign ahead of Saturday’s season opener against Louisiana-Monroe.AUSTIN — Texas and Oklahoma reached an agreement to leave for the Southeastern Conference in 2024, the Big 12 announced Thursday.
“As I have consistently stated, the conference would only agree to an early withdrawal if it was in our best interest for Oklahoma and Texas to depart prior to June 30, 2025,” Yormark said in a statement. “By reaching this agreement, we are now able to accelerate our new beginning as a 12-team league and move forward in earnest with our initiatives and future planning.”
One key part of the deal, reported by ESPN’s Pete Thamel, was to flip a non-conference home-and-home series between Michigan and Texas. The Longhorns will now play at Michigan in 2024, with the Wolverines coming to Austin in 2027. Flipping those dates means the 2024 game will be part of Fox’s inventory.
In place of the current East and West division split, the league is expected to place its 16 teams into four-team pods designed to maintain, and in some cases re-establish regional rivalries while keeping the rest of the schedule flexible.
