If we Join B1G, ACC, or Big 12?

Does this mean we'll bring back wrestling?

Don’t really care about the wrestling part!
But regarding football, I like the toughness and national exposure of the Big Ten, and LSU would fit right in from a football standpoint. But sending every LSU team to places like Oregon, Washington, Nebraska, and Penn State would be a logistical nightmare.
The Big 12 makes more sense geographically, but it would still feel like a step down from the SEC. The ACC might be the best cultural fit, with schools like Florida State, Miami, and Clemson, though its financial stability is a concern.
I’d probably lean ACC if it could stay together and offer a competitive deal. Otherwise, the Big 12 would be the safest and most practical choice.

Upvoted for bringing back wrestling.

LSU and the SEC aren’t breaking up

Form the SUPER 12 and hire Saban as commissioner. LSU, UT,A&M, Bama, UGA, UF, OSU, MICH, Miami, Fla St, Penn State, Indiana.

OP only cares about wrestling. I sense sarcasm with his statement.

Wishful thinking with a dash of sarcasm. Trying to find the silver lining here!

I think the best bet would be to create a new conference with top schools from acc and big 12, plus ND, the other schools can merge into a separate slightly lesser conference

Bruh, if we leave it's likely because of UT, A&M, Alabama, UGA, and UF.

The Big 12 could easily work as I imagine they'll add some ACC teams once that conference implodes.
The Big 12 could easily be the following:
East Division
LSU
Arkansas (if they would leave with LSU) or NC State (if Arkansas doesn't leave the SEC)
Miami or Florida State (kicking out UCF, who would no longer be needed)
West Virginia
Pittsburgh (kicking out Cincinnati, who would no longer be needed)
Virginia Tech
Georgia Tech or Clemson
Kansas
Kansas State
Iowa State
West Division
Utah
BYU
Arizona
Arizona State
Colorado
Oklahoma State
Texas A&M (Kicking out Houston if A&M leaves the SEC with LSU)
Texas Tech
Baylor
TCU
It might not be the SEC but it would be a strong conference that would get a very good TV deal.
LSU could probably also get the Big 12 to agree to non-conference game rights, where LSU has a Texas like setup and keeps all the revenue from non-conference games.
This would keep all the traditional recruiting grounds (Louisiana, Texas, Florida) open for LSU, allow LSU to still have a huge NIL budget and allow for an easier path to the CFP without having to deal with rogue corrupt SEC officiating and reviews.

Anything other than B1G or independent for football is a net negative

Theoretically, if LSU was expelled one of these teams is taking our place.

Out of this list, only University of Texas and UGA have been linked to this. A&M will vote opposite of UT because they believe that almost anything Texas does is to the detriment of their university and conference. Remember, they blame Texas for bringing down their former conferences.
If you mean Tenner, then I think you are correct. But still, Texas has been linked to voting against LSU so I still think A&M will vote for LSU.
Honestly, as much as we don’t like, and in some cases hate, Alabama, I believe they will vote to keep LSU.
Haven’t heard much of anything about which way UF is leaning.

I could see that. But I could also see that an even bigger shakeup would happen. It could cause a cascading effect which would lead to the mega conference or something that would shift the whole landscape
