We know about the $21M per year/per team from the new Fox/ESPN deal:

The $12-$15M per year/per team take from the Pac-12 Network is definitely a down the road projection, but it comes from someone that does market research for a living:

If the Big-"12" implodes, that's one less major conference that TV networks can negotiate with, driving up the leverage of the remaining conferences, and if the Pac is able to add Oklahoma and Texas with the Big-"12" gone, I have little doubt the conference would be able to squeeze out a lot more money from their 1st tier TV rights deal.
