I think Major is on the right track. In the grand scheme of things Disney is at least co-driving this bus if not paying for the gas and driving the bus.
Texas and ou will move over when Disney says to move. If the Big XII insists on a $160 million payment, Disney will politely try to work something out (i.e. payoff of $5 to $10 million to each of the 8 remaining Big XII schools plus a small increase in the rights fee). If the Big XII balks, Disney will just declare force manure on all existing contracts with the Big XII and not televise any Big XII athletics. This would leave a weakened Big XII to try to cut a deal with CBS/NBC/ Regional networks.
