AUSTIN, Texas -- Oklahoma and Texas have taken their final steps toward leaving the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference.
Oklahoma's Board of Regents on Friday approved the necessary contractual agreements with both conferences to make the switch. This comes after Texas' Board of Regents this week also allowed UT president Jay Hartzell to sign agreements to move the Longhorns to the SEC.
The schools will join their new league on July 1, 2024.
Oklahoma and Texas will play one season in a 14-team Big 12 that will include new members BYU, UCF, Cincinnati and Houston.
