I'm not sure how you see that.  Eventually SEC and B1G teams may make more off of their television rights, but for the time being Texas isn't hurting at all.  They're still raking in a lot of money to play longtime rivals in a geographically convenient league.

For 2015, SEC schools received about $31m each and the Big 10 schools received about $32m each, but Texas received about $41m for the same apple-to-apple set of tier rights and bowl revenue.  That's the $26m the Big 12 paid each school plus the $15m ESPN pays Texas for the LHN.  Remember that the SEC and B1G numbers include Tier 3 money while Big 12 schools market their Tier 3 rights individually, like the LHN.

And the Big 12/LHN payout really only comprises about 22% of the Texas athletic department's revenue each year.

Also keep in mind that Texas could probably join the B1G tomorrow - if it wanted to.

Who knows what the future will hold?  Anything can happen, but at the moment Texas is hardly in ninth place.
