Marquee Big 12 Conference members Texas and Oklahoma have ended days of speculation and rumor with a joint statement announcing their intent to join the Southeastern Conference.

As reported by CBS Sports, the two schools announced Monday they will not renew their grant of rights agreement with the Big 12, though they plan to "honor their existing ... agreements" through the 2024-25 term. "The Longhorns and Sooners stating publicly that they are willing to remain with the Big 12 through the expiration of the grant of rights agreement could be more legal posturing than it is a definitive departure date, especially if the remainder of the conference crumbles with knowledge that it's top two teams are leaving," writes Ben Kercheval of CBS.
