The boards of regents in Oklahoma and Texas both unanimously voted to formally accept invitations to join the SEC.
The Oklahoma board of regents approved the Sooners’ eventual move to the SEC during a meeting on Friday, shortly after the Texas board did the same for the Longhorns. This weeks’ decisions will ultimately make the SEC the first 16-team superconference.
Texas and Oklahoma will join the SEC as late as July 1, 2025, but likely the two will pay out of their Big 12 media rights deal, that is set to end on June 30, 2025, that is worth $75-$80 million.
