Rice has the academic fit. I think TCU would accept a PAC invite, especially if Texas and Oklahoma are leaning elsewhere. But, not sure the PAC would see TCU as a good academic or cultural fit.

PAC could do a lot worse than adding Houston and TCU.

I have seen on one of these threads that the PAC doesn't like the idea of adding religious schools, which was a small piece of why Brigham Young wasn't considered. While I don't think the conference would add the city twice, renewing Houston vs. Rice as a conference game, securing the city, and having a new ready-made rivalry would be fun. Cuts down costs with a nice travel partnership for Olympic sports as well. Won't happen, but fun to consider.
