The scenario that you are proposing, that no real effort will be made to continue the conference once the first school leaves, will pretty much make damages negligible as the remaining schools would then have demonstrated that there wasn't much worth holding onto.  If the B-12 does not attempt to continue it won't hurt the school that departs, it will make it easier for them to leave without paying anything.  Remaining in compliance with the TV contract is the B-12's responsibility, not the responsibility of any one member who is in the official process of departing the conference.  Additionally, there is no way in hell that any judge would attempt to force a school (a state entity at that in the case of eight of the ten possible B-12 schools who would/could be the first to depart) to pay nine figures in damages to a conference that has no desire/makes no attempt to continue.

If someone does leave, the Longhorns and Sooners start looking for a landing spot and the remaining members will once again begin the dance they were involved with in 2010 (this time it will be AAC schools, not BE football members as potential dance partners).
