It won't happen this year. And it probably won't happen next. But if another Big 12 team gets hosed, the most likely scenario is Texas bolts pre-emptively with OU. OU will take OSU with them, and to go to 16, the Pac-12 will accept either Texas Tech or TCU as a bit of a poison pill (more likely to be Tech because they are a public school).



It seems to me the GOR would still put a stop to this. The remaining ISU, KSU, TCU, Tech, type schools just have to invite a couple replacement midmajors to remain a conference and then they can claim the financial rights to OU, Texas, etc for more than a decade.

The Big 12 does look unstable but the GOR has put off the collapse for a decent period of time IMO.

The Grant of Rights is not a complete bar. If Texas wants to go, they'll go. and if they find a home for half of the league's members, really, it will be left to just a few schools to sue. And if they get offers to other conferences, that will mitigate their damages.

Texas' BEST case then is bolting with the four, taking care of TCU and Baylor by getting them in the SEC, Kansas to the Big 10, and WVU to the ACC. That would only leave them with two schools (KSU and ISU) to pay, split amongst eight schools who would all be in breach.
