From a couple of days ago but this TCU blog mentions a couple of possible scenarios (I think the landing spots for some of the teams might be a reach but the key is the voting %s needed)
Larry Williams @LarryWilliamsTI via Twitter â Few things more mesmerizing than watching Texas, its fans and even some media who cover it acting all big-time and celebrating the demise of a conference against which the Longhorns compiled a 52-46 record in football the last 11 years. #HookEm

Yeah I was looking into this a couple days ago, including the bylaws. The conclusions I came to were that voting to dissolve a conference you are leaving is legally messy and is not advisable. There are reasons teams tend to stop attending meetings when they have decided to leave (even if they havenât formally announced it).
What you should try instead of that is to eliminate exit fees. Some of the same liabilities exist, but youâre on stronger ground arguing that until the exit fees are lowered you do not actually plan to leave to conference, and therefore at the time of the vote you were an interested conference member. You still could get sued but your case would be stronger.
Now, if you were really going to be hard core about it, you could start by proposing to vote to eliminate all exit fees including UTâs and OUâs, and then negotiate towards just eliminating exit fees for current members as a compromise. Get everybody to vote yes on that and youâre good.
There is no clean and risk-free way to do any of this, but some ways are riskier than others. If you have 3/4 of the vote, you have a lot of leverage. Note, though, that the 3-5 team AAC proposal would not remove enough members.

The TeaSips better get woke in a hurry or itâs going to be down right criminal what could happen to them in the SEC.
Give ESPin credit, I see some beat downs coming. They found the one team in America that many despise.

No way imo do they hang around waiting 4 more yrs. UT/OK will be apart of SEC starting in 2022 or 2023 at the latest. Theyâll get it worked out btw all parties.

They should have thanked ESPin. A&M only did what they were told to do.

They better stop their elitist attitude that they get to run every conference they have ever been in and call the shots. Their shadowy ways will not work in the SEC. There is another big dog in Bama that has just as much or more power then TU. They have destroyed every conference they have ever been in because they had the power but now not so.
If itâs 6 votes to dissolve the conference, then the AAC should take all but Baylor and TCU/K-State.
Pretty dang funny if we took a dump on Baylor.

Itâs now official, everyone in college sports now hates the t-sips. Double Horns Down.
Is this the equivalent of leaving the money on the dresser?
It really is the same thing isnât it? They sold their integrity for a few $$$
Integrity and anything B12 related are a reach. SEC is just a much better football experience. (and that $$$)
Other news:
Seems smart for both teams but not a surprise if OK State could tell them at first. (then comes around)

I read that OU and ut would like to play in the sec in 2 yrs vs waiting till 2025 which is a long time. I think they move sooner.
Nobody gives a crap about the bedlam in the USA. Only in Oklahoma.

If they said anything else it would be notification of an intent to breach contact.
More importantly, it would give the Big 12 a strong incentive to stick together for the GOR money.
