2 is the only one that makes sense to me.
Missouri does not have an offer in that the SEC does give out offers. What it sounds like Missouri has is indications that if they applied to the SEC, they would quickly be accepted.
It's splitting hairs, but there IS a difference there.

Deaton forgot that he can't pull the power play that Boren did to make Texas play fairly. I think he thought he could pull an OU. I also don't think trying that maneuver will cost him his job. He was doing it in MU's best interest, making GabeD look foolish isn't a fireable offense.
