I suppose it's
possible that a surviving Big-12 could land a huge new TV deal in the future that, combined with the existing 2nd tier rights deal, the Longhorn Network deal and the various concessions negotiated with the rest of the conference would provide Texas with more money than what they'd get as an equal revenue sharing partner in the Pac-16 (or Big Ten for that matter), but I have my doubts.
Texas will make a shit-ton of money in the Pac-16. The existing mega-deal plus the projected revenues of the wholly-owned Pac Networks are already projected to bring in $33-36M per school once the Pac Networks are in full swing. And that doesn't even take into account the potential for the conference to renegotiate their deal with Fox/ESPN after landing Oklahoma and Texas (and the Big-12 no longer being an entity) for even higher per-team takes.
