Actually, if you think about it, the SEC is better off with A&M. I never looked at it this way before:

In expanding, it doesn't help our existing teams to bring in someone and have them win the championships. It helps our existing teams to bring in someone and make money for the conference while weakening a major team outside our conference. Form this angle, A&M is serving the original SEC members much better than Texas ever could, as long as they aren't costing us a national championship by winning it themselves or eliminating our contender.

Meh. It isn't like Alabama hasn't been in a situation where they couldn't win the SEC, but found a way to manipulate the system and still claim a Natty. What. Has it been two or three times the REC did that?
