The only reason Texas came crawling back is because no one else wanted to put up with them. Which is saying something considering how much money they are worth.
The real question though is not about 5 or 6 year deals... this kind of stuff, you have to think 15-20 years into the future. I am definitely not saying the Big XII is going to dissolve in five years... but long term, the Big XII and Big East are definitely on shakier ground than everyone else. There's been so much backstabbing and turmoil, it just looks ugly. But things can change in 5 years.
