Lubbock Mayor Dan Pope announced on Monday, July 26th that he had recently written a letter to Texas Governor Greg Abbott about the future of the Big 12.
That same day, University of Oklahoma President Joe Harroz and University of Texas President Jay Hartzell announced that their universities didn t intend on extending their Grant of Rights when the agreement expires in 2025. This essentially paves the way for the schools to leave the Big 12. It s said that the schools are wishing to join the SEC.
The other 8 members of the conference have expressed their disappointment in the decisions made, some even saying this was all done behind their back.
