Big 10- Missouri, Nebraska, k state , kansas, Iowa state, Notre Dame(won't happen) These are all
Personally I don't think the B10 is going any further than Nebraska out of the Big 12 at this time. I think they won't add any more teams until Notre Dame commits to the conference or they can find a team to open a significant television market in the east ie. Rutgers. The way the Big 10 Network works is that the states where the Big 10 has a presence the channel is carried on the Basic Pkg. It's on the sports tier in states where there's no member team. So, Notre Dame opens up a Nat'l audience (arguable and debateable ) Also while Rutgers doesn't look attractive on paper, they could open up the New York/New Jersey television markets for the Big 10 which would generate a great deal of added revenue. I think once either of those two things happen then I think Missouri will get an invitation. I could be wrong on that though and they may get one before just to secure them because the B12 is putting the screws to them. So out of your list above - Iowa State is in a television market that is already open. Kansas/KState would open a market but I'm not sure that's the area that the B10 wants to go. I think the key is to think East rather than much further south than Missouri.
