I think OU and Texas hope - expect? - that when they finalize the SEC offer that many of the other member schools in the Big-12 will see the writing on the wall and jump ship for the Pac-12, Big Ten, or ACC resulting in the necessary votes to dissolve the conference.
Problem is most of those 8 remaining programs aren't attractive enough to land in one of those other conferences. The Big 12 programs that had other options left back in 2011.
The Big 12 as a conference will be the new AAC, with a slightly more prestigious name. They'll poach some mid-majors like Tulsa and Houston and continue as a G5 conference. Which means UT and OU will very likely be on the hook for massive buyouts.
