Much easier when you have nothing to lose, like A&M.
I am honestly surprised that Oklahoma wasn't more self-interested at that juncture.
Texas was quickly rolling back into its normal state of sustained irrelevance at that point. The Texas OU game and state legislature pressure to package a deal with Okie State were not insurmountable barriers.

All I care about is for OU and UT to create some nice "welcome" videos to share with the rest of the SEC before we officially start competing.

We literally played in the title game earlier that year. OU played in it a year earlier. And 2010’s SEC is nothing like 2023’s.
OU’s whole deal is being the Joker to Texas’s Batman. If they aren’t playing Texas in Dallas, they might as well be Arkansas. Going to the SEC without that game would’ve been a losing formula.
