How can they even determine what the value of those rights are should a team leave? If KU left the B12 and BYU replaced them, then the B12 would lose $0. Couldn't KU argue that individually they add no extra worth and should go free? Meanwhile the B12 would claim KU is worth $240M which is their share x 12 years. But since the whole is greater than the individual, the KU worth would be no where near that. 
 
Also I think having Tier 3 go to the schools could really hurt the B12 here. If a school leaves the B1G (which would never happen) they can say there are damages to the BTN. That doesn't exist in the B12. In addition KU knows what they get $ wise for their Tier 3 rights. Can't they use that as a baseline for their overall rights? If the Tier 3 games they sold amount to $2.5 million per year, that would bring down the estimated worth of the Tier 1/2 by quite a bit. 
 
Finally how would the B12 even make money off the owned rights? Would the plan be to go to ESPN/FOX and say look we have KU's 7 home games available for you to purchase. Maybe 3 of those KU FB games would be worth showing on ESPN/FOX. A ton of BBall games would be worth showing. But what can the B12 really get paid for that? Maybe $10 million a year? Which again brings down the worth quite a bit in KU's favor. Also if EPSN/FOX are showing KU, guess who they are not showing? So the B12 would gain less exposure.
