Penalty to leave the conference is $30 mil plus loss of revenues- very steep.

And getting lashed with a wet noodle.

I read today where all team signed a document committing themselves to the Big 12 for 10 years. That's very good news.

I don't know the answer. I haven't seen the document. It's great that they've made that long-term commitment though.

​

Have Big 12 schools signed a contract to remain in the league together long term?

No. School leaders expressed public support for the Big 12. In short, it's something comparable to a hand-shake agreement. They are trusting each other to honor it.

lol​

LOL Sid. You are still in denial. I read a story that it was in. Don't remember where. Ask DFW..he had the exact number...maybe he remembers.

The Big 12 is back. Sorry your smack talk backfired on you.

The confusion comes from the fact the 5 orphans signed a 10 year commitment. OU, UT, A&M, Tech and OSU did not. It was a way for the other teams (read Missouri) to show their commitment to the revamped Big XII. Basically, OU, UT, A&M, Tech and OSU can leave, but the other five cannot. This may all change, if the conference bylaws are changed.
