I think the PAC would take Texas, Texas Tech, Kansas, and Iowa State.
Why? They really don't want OSU because of their R2 research status.
I think OU and OSU still head to the SEC.
If the ACC is smart they will pick up West Virginia.
The AAC will get a boost in pay and the will take T.C.U., Baylor, and Kansas State.
If the PAC doesn't join in then look for ESPN to push for the cream.
Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC and Notre Dame to the ACC with West Virginia.
I would think Texas would push for both TCU and Texas Tech to go with them or at least for both to be secure, but I could be wrong. If UT did want that then I think the PAC would be foolish to turn it down.
Perhaps this...
SEC takes Oklahoma and Oklahoma State
PAC takes Texas, Texas Tech, TCU, and Kansas
ACC takes Notre Dame and West Virginia
B1G takes Iowa State and UConn
ATU, I'm not sure the Big 10 can afford to take anyone other than Texas/Kansas or Oklahoma/Kansas and then remember they are probably losing money on Kansas but gaining revenue on the pair.
In 2018 the B1G payout is going to 51 million.
Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, T.C.U., West Virginia, Kansas State, and Baylor are not AAU, and neither would they pay their way into the Big 10.
Iowa State is AAU and in a state they already have and they still don't pay their way in.
Texas pays its way in. Oklahoma pays its way in. There is some debate as to whether Kansas with Oklahoma pays its way in. Texas would cover Kansas. So the game for the Big 10 is real simple. If they don't land Texas they probably won't make much money if any on Oklahoma and Kansas. So the Big 10 would probably wait on a possible PAC or ACC target.
So in the scenario you listed I don't think the Big 10 does anything.
