Since Texas does not want to be the "bad guy" and will not move first, I think the SEC invites West Virginia.....Texas declares the conference to be unstable and accepts an invitation from the ....yep, you guessed it..the ACC.
The B1G with Texas off of the market settles for the safe AAU choices and invites Missouri and Kansas, which leaves the SEC free to add Oklahoma and Oklahoma State/Texas Tech.
By the time the news reaches the west coast....it's all over
If the SEC chooses Oklahoma State would the PAC take a look at Texas schools or even consider BYU?

Missouri still isn't leaving the SEC.

And pretty sure the GOR would prevent any of this from happening anyway.

As we approach the end of the Big 12's GOR things will really heat up. If you believe that schools are not "talking" now, I believe you would be mistaken.

And as to Missouri? It was said that Maryland was never leaving the ACC (a conference it helped found and had membership in for almost 60 years). Missouri has no such ties to the SEC, why would you think they would never leave? And the answer, "because it's the SEC" just doesn't fly.

The answer to your last comment is Yes, Mizzou will not leave because it is "The SEC" To turn the argument around a little, now that Maryland has dissolved it's 60 year ties to the ACC for the B1G, would they now be enticed to the SEC? The answer is No. It is No for Missouri as well.
