Folks...step back from the ledge, and calmly think about this for just a second...
1) NU's Perlman tipped his hand this morning...his legal argument for no NU penalty is that the penalty only applies if the conference suffers loss from a member leaving, and the new TV deal that was obtained from NU's departure is actually a gain for the conference. Personally, I don't think his argument will hold up based on the way the bylaws are written, but who knows what the courts will do. If Beebe comes out today before the NU/CU penalties are agreed to and signed off by all sides and announces a huge TV deal, he gives credence to Perlman's argument that the Big 12 is gaining (instead of suffering loss) from NU's departure. Perlman apparently knows something of what the Big 12 has been offered. His case completely falls apart if the conference gains are projected, and not real.
2) NU and CU are still part of the Big 12, and they are forfeiting only a % of their revenue for leaving, not the whole amount. If new TV deals went into effect immediately, NU and CU, as members of the Big 12, would still benefit.
3) The Big 12 was only "saved" less than 12 hours ago. There is no possible way for renegotiated TV deals to be in place already. TT hasn't even formally committed yet. Also, the media deals are staggered, which means they come due at different times. There's ESPN/ABC, FOX cable channels, Versus, and perhaps something else we don't know. The Big 12 can't tip their hand until all contacts are signed. Beebe mentioned that the staggered deals are a problem that will be dealt with in the future.
4) I just don't see UT/OU/A&M deciding to stay in the Big 12 based on projections. There's more going on.
I'd be surprised if ANYTHING was mentioned about future revenue increases until all settlements are made with CU/NU, or perhaps even until those two are completely out of the conference.
