For the sake of their record, they'd be better served to stay in the XII. But if they truly want to take a step forward in raw quality (though their record may not reflect it), the SEC would be a great move. They'll get serious conference revenue and they'd get more booster money involved as well w/ the new energy and what would likely be a very ambitious 'mission statement'.
I certainly see both sides. This isn't as easy as the B1G conversation was (if the invite comes, you leave); there are legitimate reasons to stay or go.
And again, it's all presuming that A) The Tweet isn't BS (it could be) and B) MU gets an SEC bid (it likely won't).

I'm pretty sure all schools are going to have to give some sort of guarantees for BYU to commit to the Big 12.
