Your analysis is correct, and if KU left the conference either the Big XII would have to show that no replacement school could fill the damages that were caused by their departure which is unlikely as you suggest a KU for BYU swap wouldn't hurt the conference or the conference would still have to pay KU its share of the Big XII contract to its new conference.
The tier 3 analysis is different because the Big XII doesn't own those rights each school can sell those rights separately. While KU football 3rd tier rights are worthless there 3rd tier basketball rights basically all their non-conference tomato cans can generate up to 10 million dollars a year for the KU AD by selling them off to local i.e. TW like companies. The B12 makes no money off those that was the compromise between the schools it is what allows the LHN to exist all of Texas 3rd tier games go on LHN and thus beyond the 20 million a year from the B12 allow it to make much more money. The point of the GOR is that they aren't as unbreakable as the WVU fans want you to believe. Really only 1 school wouldn't be punitive to the B12 contract Texas. Even if Oklahoma and Oklahoma State left and were replaced by BYU and Boise St or Cincinnati the B12 would get its money and be worth it. Only if Texas left would the conference likely win any lawsuit, but if Texas left I am sure enough of the B12 would be leaving they could vote to dissolve the league.
