But there would be some satisfaction leaving a conference where too many members simply are along for the ride and the commissioner has no leverage to change that.

I'm not sure that is true. The conference could place certain requirements on schools (facilities, attendance, monetary support, etc.) and give them, say, five years to meet them. If the schools don't meet the requirements they could be asked (told) to join a conference that is more suitable to their commitment to basketball.
