Oklahoma and Oklahoma State announce together they are leaving for the SEC.

The B12 starts looking at TV evacuations and realignment.

Kansas decides to go to the B1G.

West Virginia lands in the ACC.

Texas decides its best to stay at a six member conference. Kansas State and Iowa State don't add a whole lot to the pot. They get replaced with BYU and local tag along Boise State. TV says in order to maximize payouts, this small conference needs to schedule big games and names to make up for lack of inventory.

Texas maintains Oklahoma rivalry and adds Arkansas to a ten year contract. A&M agrees to some years as a trial run.

So the Big 12 dies.
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to the SEC
Kansas to the Big Ten (with Connecticut)
West Virginia to the ACC (with Cincinnati)
Kansas State and Iowa State to American Conference

Southwest Conference 2.0 is born
Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, BYU, Boise State

I think you are close, but there is no reason to re-invent the wheel.
ESPN can't make any money off of Texas in that conference.
The American could be the perfect location for many of the Big 12 teams.
Houston, SMU, Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, Tulsa and K-State would make a pretty strong western division for the American.
Cincinnati and West Virginia still go to the ACC but with Notre Dame (still a partial) and Texas (partial). Texas is still the money game for all of their Texas friends and the Horns get to play 7-8 games a year in the Lone Star State.
The SEC starts with Oklahoma and OSU and could offer Kansas and ISU. But even if Kansas and ISU move to the B1G, ESPN still controls every thing they need to succeed without the B1G or the PAC.
