They'll leave well before 2025. They'll get an agreement in place between the Big 12, the SEC, and the two schools and they'll be members by 2022 if I had to guess.
Agreed that this will happen in 2022. Missouri announced in the fall of 2011 and played in the SEC in 2012. They'll get something similar done.

Best one -Mississippi state official statement "tell them to bring me my money"
This may be a question already answered elsewhere, but have the SEC schools already voted on this?
And, how can this not hurt us, no matter the sport? Money talks, and Texas practically has bottomless pockets.
And, why wouldn?t Saban be against this?
Lots of questions, I know. Just trying to get a better understanding.
Saban isn't against this because he is at the best program in the country and is the best coach in the country. Dude isn't scared of a little competition and he knows Sark like the back of his hand. basically rehabilitated Sark's career.
Yes, it will most definitely hurt us in football and basketball as far as the record goes but it should help us as far as playing more teams with better name recognition and more followers. The better, more intriguing games can only help us as far as our reputation goes because nobody will remember Texas beating us but when we beat them it will be news worthy every time even if we technically have a better program than they do at the time(which we don't right now).
It was going to happen one way or the other at some point and was going to either be a couple of the top teams from the ACC or a couple of the top teams from the B12. Either way you cut it another expansion was going to happen.
The only thing I am a tad worried about is if Texas will integrate into the SEC well or if they will try and run everything like they did in the last two conferences. I don't think it will be as easy for them this time as there are several other name brand teams that have a good foothold on making sure things don't get to one sided.

So far this year... - EA Announces the return of NCAA Football. - CFP expands to 12 teams. - NIL allows players to get paid. - Oklahoma and Texas join the SEC. It's still July.
Thanks, BB30. After reading thread about ?what I am hearing?, just left with more confusion & questions.
To Jack L, yeah, had read that. And, to think we still have half a year to go. What do they say .... Buckle in. It is going to be a bumpy ride.
Expect OU and UT to be playing football in the SEC in 2022... per an sec AD.
Once the SEC accepts OU and UT, the remaining 8 teams are going to scramble. If 4 more leave, the governing rules are evidently void.
Possibly by a member school leaving, the tv contract could be reduced... that's something to follow.
I think I read where there is a requirement that you inform the league at least 18 months before your planned departure. They are under a TV contract as well so they announced it to be at the end of the TV contract. Pay no attention to any of that for a timeframe. The lawyers take over at this point. A buyout most likely will be negotiated and TX and OU will be gone soon. That may take a few months to sort out but they are gone, probably not this year but it could easily happen before another year.
They'll be playing in their new Conf next season.
We?re not good in football anyway, and realistically will never be a contender so I don?t think this is that bad. It could really help us as well if we go to the pods and end up in a pod with something like ole miss, arky, and one other. We could still go 7-5 every year, bowl games, not play Alabama every year. Take the extra money and throw it all into baseball and keep winning nattys there
The additional 30-40 million per year to each school resultant of this expansion makes it all worth it.
There will definitely not be a Pod of LSU, OM, MSU, and UArk. Not way they give MSU 3 easy wins like that.
