Rip the bandaid off and get this done. If Big 12 plans to backfill more after UTOU leave, it would be nice to get this round of musical chairs over with sooner rather than later.

The annual media revenue of the AAC is 7 million per school with no GOR.
BYU's annual revenue is at least double that and as an independent they have to buyout at least 9 games to make an early move.
The estimated new payout for a rebuilt B12 is 25 million.
What incentive would Cincinnati, UCF and Houston have to stay?
To date no school has had an exit fee that exceeded 1 years worth of media revenue withheld by a conference. The reason for this is that conferences have no means of collecting a debt from another sovereign state's state school. Privates are a different matter.
So the AAC has no means of enforcement which is why they are now talking to prospective members.
If movement happens early it will be Houston, Cincinnati and Central Florida playing in the new Big 12 in 2022 and Texas and Oklahoma in the SEC at the same time, but after a larger negotiated settlement due to the GOR.
BYU as a private may be the only one which will take longer than a year to move and then only due to scheduling obligations as most games 2 years out can be canceled without financial penalty due to contingencies.
