That is correct. If the Big 12 folds before 2025, OU/Texas can jump ship without buying out their contract. Even if it doesnt fold this year though, the SEC with OU and Texas in the mix can easily pay back the ~$160mill. OU and Texas football programs made a combined ~360million in revenue, in a pandemic with minimal fans in the stands. That would put the SEC right around $1billion in revenue per year.
