This seems plausible to me because it puts five votes against three to dissolve the conference. Tech, Baylor and TCU won't be on board but they don't need to be. Sounds exactly like what Fox would do to protect it's interest. Here's to hoping. Going to be a crazy year.

Not exactly sure.

We need 75% of the remaining 8 to do it.

They want the West to be competitive, it's not competitive right now.
Well KU won’t exactly help the west in football.

Basketball on the other hand… that’s suddenly one helluva division. Really Nebraska is your only dud.

Take ESPN out of the equation, they aren't involved with the angry 8. I would wager that Tech is part of the conversation the Pac 12 along with TCU.

IF ESPN isn't funding the expansion of leagues taking the remaining B12 teams in lieu of exit fees and potential lawsuits and to get OU & UT moved for next year, the B12 will be adding BYU & AAC teams after they get their exit money figured out.

Bowlsby has said the remaining value of the B12 teams is about 14M a year per team and I'm afraid he is probably estimating on the high side(you don't lowball yourself in public). I hope the 14M value per team is on the current contract and the new one would be a little higher but who knows.
