1. The Big12 just tried to (falsely) establish that talking to other schools is tortious interference, so they can hardly go calling other schools. ESPN is probably offering bonuses to any school that discloses contact from the Big12.
2. Setting aside #1, the Big12 just made themselves infinitely less desirable to other potential schools now that they realize the conference will use them as hostages and crater their value.
3. The Big12 just made their current programs untouchable by other conferences by threatening to sue, so they are all stuck. And maybe they are stuck because they bring no value, but they just confirmed for all to see.
4. The Big12 just nuked their next contract. Think they will have multiple bidders?
If you spent weeks trying to devise a way to destroy a conference, you can hardly top the strategy adopted by Bowlsby.
