What I believe makes the most sense for the SEC is to offer spots to both Texas and Oklahoma with no special network deals. If Texas balks, as many here believe they will for a number of reasons, then offer their spot to Kansas instead.

Move Missouri to the western division, and Alabama & Auburn to the east. Now both divisions are strong in both football and basketball, and Texas is stranded in the Big XII (now the Big 8) as king of the (mole)hill.

The SEC's divisions are geographically rational and relatively balanced competitively.

WEST:
Mississippi St
Ole Miss
LSU
Arkansas
Texas A&M
Oklahoma
Kansas
Missouri

EAST:
Kentucky
Tennessee
Vanderbilt
South Carolina
Georgia
Florida
Alabama
Auburn

ESPN is happy as a clam. Worst case for them vis a vis Texas is that the Big XII stays at 8, giving Texas one more OOC game for the LHN. The remaining Big XII members eventually have a smaller pie to share but they only have to split it 8 ways.
