That is exactly what I have assumed. What exactly do they have to do to get kicked out officially though? Do nothing? Sit back and take no phone calls or something?

edit:

I have been wondering too if they haven't been trying to negotiate with the Big 10 to try and help pay their buy out as a package deal for the 2 schools and then maybe it becomes a "hospital and private insurance" type of analogy, where Big 10 Lawyers sit down with Big 12 lawyers and negotiate the "proper" price of the buyout and the repayment plans and time table for it... seems like that would be something that takes a while, and something you want to keep private.
