They keep talking about breakaway for self regulation. What is that really?

I’m too busy to google right now (but not too busy to post haha). Has anyone put out a proposal of what conference self governance and compliance would look like? Would it be for all sports? Would it impact the ncaa basketball tourney contract? I’m very curious what this breakaway would look like. If it is really the only path, as they are claiming, then I would expect they have a clear map of that path. Has anyone here seen anything good to explain it that they can share?
