The more likely scenario is that we leave, OU, Okie State, Tech and Texas immediately bolt fot the PAC, Kansas leaves for the Big East soon, the Big XII dissolves and nobody pays anything as there is no longer a conference to collect. Also, as soon as the conference number drops below 8 the TV contract becomes null and void and nobody has any claim to lost TV revenue.
In other words, no matter what we won't be writing anyone a check. We may simply leave a chunk of our $20 million in TV revenue for this season to be split amongst the remaining conference members.
And that is why Baylor is doing it. If they do nothing, they get nothing. Now they may get something. Maybe not the maximum amount, but something. They know they can't stop the move.
