They could tell the rest of the Big 12 (or at least enough of them to win a vote) that it's in their best interests to dissolve the exit fees.
Texas could flatly state, "we are leaving, even if it means we have to wait a few years to reduce the exit fees. When we leave, this conference is done. If you let us leave now, you can likely find a safe landing in a stable conference. If you wait five years, all of the other conferences will be full, and you're going to be in deep shit. Let's all bail now for free and get on with our lives."

Or what if the Big Ten now goes to Texas and Notre Dame and says we have two spots left - now or never?
ND, if you don't accept our final offer we will take 2-3 more ACC schools and demolish the conference.
