Yes, desperation can make for strange bedfellows, i.e. Mizzou, but the Tigers are IMO at the outer limit of NW expansion for the SEC.

As 10th mentioned, there will be significant opposition from several SEC West schools regarding any further TX/OK additions. My selections of the Cowboys is meant to be a non-threatening alternative that might actually be accepted.

While Cincy isn't even in my top 5 expansion choice, if they were invited, the Bearcats could use Paul Brown Stadium (~66K) until they found a proper replacement for Nippert.

To me OSU isnt worth the add because they are the #2 team in a small market state (and so is KSU)

Now, if we had to add a western team, my go-tos are:

1) KU - reunite the KU/MU border war and knock SEC basketball up a real notch

2) SMU - They are a non threatening, Vandy-esque school but they WOULD improve academics and (more importantly) get the SEC firmly into DFW the way it is in Houston now. A&M, Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn and LSU coming into Dallas every year will get the local's attention in a way Baylor, Tech and OSU vs TCU never will.

The profitability of teams in the Big 12 have 1. Texas, 2. Oklahoma, 3. Oklahoma State, 4. Kansas (may move up with new deal), and 5. West Virginia

National merchandising has them 1. Texas, 2. Oklahoma, 3. West Virginia
4. Kansas, 5. Oklahoma State

So what I'm saying is that past Texas and Oklahoma the trio of West Virginia, Kansas, and Oklahoma State form the next tier of prospects out of the Big 12. After that you have Kansas State, Iowa State and Texas Tech in no particular order with Baylor in there closely enough to really call it a tier of 4, with T.C.U. bringing up the rear. Therefore my only disagreement with you 10th is that from a market standpoint Oklahoma State would still be strong. They are the 25th most profitable program in the United States and therefore of all remaining targets (meaning AAC, unaffiliated, & Big 12 teams) they are #3 overall and the deliver that market.
