Texas and Oklahoma officially made their first move toward leaving the Big 12 on Monday, when the flagship programs notified the rest of the conference they do not intend to extend their grant of rights media agreement, which runs through June 30, 2025.

ESPN reporters Jeff Borzello, Heather Dinich, David M. Hale, Adam Rittenberg and Mark Schlabach take a look at where things stand and what the domino effect of OU and Texas leaving the Big 12 would mean.
