My question to you...why won't you just accept that if KU had the same opportunity that MU does right now, they would jump all over it with both feet.

Well, as everyone has pointed out, UT has kind of painted themselves into a corner with their Longhorn Network, so there really isn't a larger payday for them unless they get rid of the LHN, which it should be obvious, they are not. OU could have easily gotten in front of you to the SEC, but they aren't really interested in the SEC (and they don't even have an AAU status). So, they aren't going anywhere either.
No, I don't think KU would go to the SEC even if they had the opportunity. They might go to the ACC or the PAC, and they would probably go to the B1G. But, if they could stay in the Big XII, get paid well, and not have to break up their regional rivalries, I think only the B1G would cause them to jump. We don't fit SEC culture.
I have never said MU didn't have more opportunities than KU, for a number of reasons, so my points are not really motivated from there.
