So, if I'm reading this correctly, Disney (ABC/ESPN/etc..) will have SEC broadcast rights in the low $300M/year (10 years for $3B) starting in 2024 versus the previous $55M/year contract with CBS that runs through the end of 2023. If this is the case, how does that work if TX and OK join the SEC? Is that $300M/year further divided among all (current & future) teams (thereby each school gets less) or is the more likely scenario that the SEC contract get renegotiated adding in the broadcast value of TX and OK? I know TX has their own network...of course they do. Wouldn't TX and OK have to pay an opt-out of the current Big 12 contract and current broadcasting arrangement?

Can anyone clarify and untangle how this works? There are two things in play here....conference alignment and broadcast rights. Thanks.
