I don't know about the details or how he is explaining them.  Much can be lost in translation.  But the takeaway I find worthwhile, and possibly based on some real info, is that the 7 schools who likely have a difficult landing spot if the Big XII fails, have woken up to that reality.  It's what the Dude doesn't want to admit.

What form does that take?  Where does it lead?  I doubt that Flug's contact has those details or has communicated them clearly enough to him.  The picture he paints has some gaps in it. But I could see something like this.
[LIST]
[*]All schools can negotiate with P5.  Big XII lets OU, UT, KU and anyone else who has a spot go.
[*]Whoever is left works with ESPN and Fox to choose expansion/backfill candidates.
[*]Once the new members are chosen, a new contract is put in place with a GOR to 2035. 
[*]As for P5 status, well monetarily they's be P5.  Would they keep a playoff slot?  That can't be decided by TV people, but if they keep the name it don't think it can be taken away until the current P5 deal expires. 
[/LIST]
If any of that happens, I wouldn't assume that UT goes anywhere.  I think part of the reason they'd do this is to give these schools a reality check.  Including UT if it thinks it can keep the LHN.
