Of course, but that is exactly the dilemma for the remaining B12 teams. If they stay together, even if they raid the AAC, they are going to be getting ~1/4 of their previous media rights deal. Knowing this, of course any of those teams would love to be added to a power conference. The problem is that when those conferences expand, they want media markets and/or huge brands. OU and Texas were huge brands that drove the B12 media deals and it is unclear whether any of the remaining programs bring enough of a media profile to be attractive to a power conference. The fact that they could afford fancy toys with that OU/Texas money won't convince other conferences that they themselves were money generators.

OU and Texas are worthless w/o their conference counterparts. It's the B12 that made OU and Texas, not the other way around. There's a conference synergy."It's amazing to watch Ron slide into that open area, Fred will find him and it's straight cash homie."--HCGM

KU football does bring an easy win for everyone else in the conference. Every team can’t be good and KU fills that role perfectly. Basketball must matter somewhat or K State would be preferred over KU. KU’s stadium needs at least $250 million in upgrades to catch up with K State. Wait until the Big 10 gets a close look at that dump of a stadium. KU & K State should merge their athletic departments and let KU take care of basketball and K State could play football.

It's in the interest of Texas and OU for the Big 12 to disintegrate. Regardless of how much money they have, they won't be required to pay an early exit fee to a conference that no longer exists.
The Big 12 may be looking to add, but no combination of any other team will amount to the combination of OU and Texas. Any self-respecting Big 12 team is scrambling to put themselves into a new conference. OU and Texas will for certain not be the only schools who leave.The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

Worst case scenario for the AAC is none of the B12 teams get power conference offers, but flush with departure fee cash and remaining media right contracts they can convince some AAC programs to come (even if long term the media deals won't be much different than current AAC numbers)."Cotton scared me - I left him alone." - B4MSU (Bear Nation poster) in reference to heckling players

Ever been to a game at Snyder Stadium? Big-time!
Members of power conferences for decades don't just get cancelled. The purpose of Realignment is to further separate the brands from the non-brands. We make fun of KSU, but they are a football brand. And their football program is... "say it with me class"... B I G - T I M E.
