The accusation is that they (ESPN) tried to get UT and OU them to leave earlier. This is what they're claiming to have evidence of that, that UT and OU didn't have to pay big buyouts and ESPN didn't have to pay the rest of the billion dollars remaining on the TV contract with the Big 12 because the Big 12 would have imploded.
