I am not sure exactly what the motives of Big 10 and PAC 12 are, but I know they

like to make money and they are not going to lightly take drastic actions that cost them a bunch of money.

Switching to conference only will cost them a bunch of money. Fewer games is going to bring them less TV money. Playing in a final 4 will open them up to liability to pay damages to those teams that they canceled on.
