Say the SEC nails down UT and KU before the BIG moves to expand. Assuming the BIG certainly wants Oklahoma. Also, assuming the BIG views staying "contiguous", by state, remains important for them. How does the BIG deal with both aims?

There are three states that would contiguously bridge Oklahoma to the BIG:. Kansas, Missouri, and Colorado (though bordering is slight). Taking Mizzou and KU off the table, that leave KSU, Colorado, and CSU as remaining options. It would be tough for the BIG to take KSU and turn down ISU, an AAU member. That leaves Colorado and CSU. CSU is trying for AAU, but so are a couple of dozen others. CSU may be too deficient in facilities, fan support, and some other measures to appeal to the BIG.

That leaves Colorado. An Oklahoma--Colorado addition to the BIG would be a fantastic move. Nebraska and others would love it. If the BIG could lure Colorado away from the PAC12, that would be a nice coup with OU.

Don't recall the timing of the PAC GoR window when Colorado could shift.

OU-UC to BIG, UT-KU to SEC; superb moves for both conferences. Make the deal.

The PAC window is within a year of the Big 10's. That's about as good as the Big 10 could hope for. And I agree that Colorado/Oklahoma would be a dynamic move by the Big 10 restoring two of Nebraska's historic rivals and at the same time landing a much better market and creating a bridge West should they ever need one.

UT-KU.............SEC
OU-Col............BIG
ND (ft)-WVU...ACC

ISU, KSU, oSu, TTU, CSU to the PAC?
PAC would not go for this because it is not academic elite enough. However, if the PAC's network and sponsorship values keep dropping comparatively, this could be a bold, but worthy, move.
Maybe if they were going to be bold the mix would be ISU, KSU, OSU?, TTU, TCU. TCU is adding a medical college and their main campus academic freedom is unrelated to the seminary.

To add to this per TCU's historical private affiliation, the Disciples of Christ, comparatively, are one of the more progressive Christian denominations.
Their teaching and research would have little interference by fundamentalists' activism.
