RE: If the SEC did expand again and did so from the Big 12 who should we take and why?
With sources in the PAC12 complaining about revenue, how re-alignment/expansion plays out gets more confusing. The PAC12 made a big mistake not accepting OU & oSu when that was on the table and the PAC12 was in a stronger position for a destination. They possibly could have lured UT with TTU a short time later. Now, a B12-PAC12 combo deal, minus a few, perhaps from both, is not unthinkable.
The SEC is in a strong position to take a couple of the more desirable when the time comes. Suppose Texas and OU reject the PAC12, even with promised tag-alongs?

Given Texas Tech's location, they could be a decent geographic fit, particularly with the non-coastal PAC12 schools. The Kansas schools, maybe oSu,, could be options. Iowa State could be too far east, WVU would be way too east, TCU isn't reseach-oriented, and Baylor would not be wanted for multiple reasons. Also, some connector schools such as CSU, New Mexico, etc. would be an option if necessary.

Basically, the SEC and BIG would be the "first pickings" conferences. But the queen of the B12, Texas, may defer a decision on SEC and/or BIG offers. Thus, OU would be the prime target if they show increasing availability.

Given Texas, I would not be suprised, rather expect, they would be trying to construct/re-construct a new conference. Would the PAC12 be the co-op group?
The question is not if they will try. Assume that. The question would can they pull it off? It can't be with just SMU-Houston-Rice types. They'll need a few current P5 big names elsewhere to associate.

Maybe these commissioners and select Presidents need to get in a smoked-filled room with TV executives and wheel and deal. That methodology, though, is now extinct. And guessing, the SEC would still end up with OU & oSu as an outcome.
