I doubt the SEC would bring in another Mississippi school and I doubt that Ole Miss would be kicked out in the first place
After all there are a bunch of other sports that Ole Miss can play. Unless of course there is proof of rampant cheating in all sports at Ole Miss.
Anyway you sound like a Bama fan saying football is the only thing that matters.

Put south Alabama in the west
That way we have an equal for Vanderbilt, scar, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri

Not Southern. They have no fans.
The choices appear to be:
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Kansas
Kansas State
Iowa State
Not West Virginia anything but the worst state in the US.
If the SEC could steal Virginia Tech or NC State from the ACC like the Big Ten stole Maryland then that would be ideal

Well their Women's Basketball and Track and Field Programs were part of this NCAA Investigation. So yeah multiple sports.
But if Ole Miss can't field a football team then what's the difference between having them and Wichita State who doesn't have Football but is actually good at Basketball.

OU would be the big prize. The SEC isn't pulling away any ACC teams. Could maybe bring in Kansas because of their basketball and rivalry with Mizzou.

Truth to be told if Ole Miss was in position to be removed from the SEC there would be four schools who would be targeted
1. Texas- Aggy has proved to not be able to carry the state. Thing is I do not know what the Group of 4 would do but I think they would approve of them so the Longhorns would never end up in the ACC
2. North Carolina- All schools would approve of this but do not see UNC leaving the ACC
3. Oklahoma- They may leave and all schools would approve but not with David Boren.
4. Virgina Tech- All schools would approve but I do not though know the situation with UVA. I know they were in different conferences before but someone explain it as the Virginia legislature would not allow the schools to split up as they pretty much forced the ACC to being in Va Tech
I have no idea. I think that Ole Miss stays because there are no other options unless of course West Virgina or East Carolina

Oklahoma City and Tulsa would be decent media markets. Even though the rest of Oklahoma has pratically 0 population beyond the Indians, it would be nice to add a town like Oklahoma City that is one of my favorite cities. Almost reminds you of a town the size of Nashville.

Texas is the worst option. They kill conferences. That's a no no from everyone involved. You should know better than that.

David Boren OU president has already stated that his goal for OU during realignment is to position his university into a place that OU can become an AAU university. This means that OU is looking West or North not East and South

Every time the SEC has looked to expand Austin has been the first place they started from 10 to 12 and 12 to 14
Posted on 7/25/17 at 1:32 am to The Tiger Claw
No they haven't. They looked at Texas A&M and Oklahoma in the 2011 Expansion. Then once Oklahoma decided to stay the SEC had to go with Missouri.

If Texas can keep their LHN I wouldn't be surprised to see them be independent awhile. They have a sweet gig for themselves in the Big 12. They'd lose money if they came to the SEC right now.

You can believe what you want but the SEC and UT was in constant contact even when UT was looking at the PAC 12.
Thing is Austin and UT never entertained the thought of the SEC.
The first plan was in the late 80's Texas and FSU
But both said no
Then the plan in 2011 was UT and A&M but UT said no and then OU said no as well so Mizzou was the choice

The SEC contract with ESPN doesn't allow any re negotiations even if schools are added
You are correct the reason why UT would say no is purely financial. There are some at UT who do not want to go to the SEC for cultural reasons but the culture of Austin and UT may be different than Starkville or Fayetteville but it is not much different than Athens.
UT wants to sit and wait for the best deal available and right now that is the Big 12.

Mexico then we could be the best in soccer too

finances are reason #2 and always have been, likely always will be.
You came close with "cultural". Texas admin feels it's above the SEC/doesn't like the "football school/conference" tag.
Texas wants to be Cal in the worst way, Herman is fortunate to have been hired while a few certain boosters are still breathing.

OM isn't going to be thrown out of the SEC.
