Missouri is right where they should be.

That divide only applies to the Eastern and Central Time Zones. 

New Mexico is west of the Central Time Zone, which is Pac 12 gang turf and not divided along civil war lines. 

Big Ten's options are Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Notre Dame, W Virginia, Pitt, Syracuse, UConn and BC. 

There is going to be a test later, so make sure that you write all this down.

Obviously.  Not sure why you even felt the need to say this.

But Mizzou always wanted the B1G because they coveted the academic prestige.  To them the SEC was actually their 2nd choice. If the B1G offered them today, they'd be gone tomorrow.

The SEC would be fine without them, of course.  There are plenty of schools that would gladly replace them.
Yes, KU & MU are really bitter with each other and it isn't just sports rivalries.  It's like the Bushwhackers and Jayhawks are still raiding towns.  That would leave a spot in the SEC for Okie State, which is the best of the remaining B12 teams.  I doubt it happens but it is what I'd like to see.

the Mizzou exit (escape to the B1G) would leave a spot for FSU

Question: Would Kansas consider dropping football if it meant it could join the Big East?

I think the new football coach would be pissed (and he's really good).

I'm shying away from programs with sketchy basketball programs. Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, UNC need not apply.

Missouri was a slave state that remained in the Union.
Sort of.
But not if you asked Jesse and Frank James.
Kentucky was another slave state that remained in the Union.  So was Maryland.  So was West Virginia, although it got there by a different path.

And the split in Arizona indicates that the SEC gets AAU-member U of A, while the B1G gets non-AAU and about-to-be-sanctioned ASU.

I think if they dropped football the B1G would pick them up in a heartbeat
