Not all 10 schools will land in P4 conferences and the ones left behind would be better off collecting exit fees and rebuilding as a tweener conference with American schools and possibly BYU/MWC than joining a G5.

On another thought, as JR SEC points out, it's the networks that would most benefit from a Big 12 break up. Wouldn't it be in their best interest for everyone to low ball the Big 12 next time around, forcing Texas and Oklahoma to consider moving and knowing that you could leverage your other conference media holdings to absorb the best pieces?

The low ball strategy only works if nobody else is very interested....otherwise FOX..or CBS...NBC...or Amazon....swoops in and steals it. The B12 is a prize possession so long as UT and Oklahoma remain.
