In terms of expansion & money, at what point does it become counter-productive? If schools like OU or FSU came in, what good does it do for schools like Ole Miss (who's never gotten to the SECCG) or South Carolina. (I only use those two as examples because they have competitive programs but don't win SEC/divison titles) Schools get more money, but the road to winning is now that much tougher. At some point, you don't want your schedule or division to be an absolute gauntlet. That's why I'd be all for adding teams like UNC, Duke, or UVA if we were to expand. Add markets, add money, make basketball stronger but they wouldn't make the football side a bloodbath.
Everyone says college football is all about money, but a coach or AD could be bringing in all the money in the world and it wouldn't matter if their teams weren't winning.

OU is probably a non-starter for several reasons:
1) A&M, Arkansas, LSU, and Missouri would likely not approve.
2) OU brings no additional TV footprint of significance.
Texas is an interesting choice. The above schools would likely vote against as well, but they would deepen the TV market penetration in the state. However, tu has a long history of running down the SEC alleging that we are all cheaters, and low quality academic schools. It is likely that Texas would never stoop so low as to join the SEC.
As for OU, they had their chance to come with us.
