And now the questions are what networks take what and what goes to Thursday & Friday but will find out in due time

A better Thanksgiving weekend schedule for 2021:

Baylor at TCU
Iowa State at West Virginia
Kansas State at Kansas
Oklahoma at Oklahoma State
Texas Tech at Texas

This would be for odd years until realignment. In even year, the non-Texas school games remain the same but at the opposite schools, while the other games would be Baylor at Texas Tech and TCU at Texas.
