Re negotiation of the contract
Because UT carries more of the state and market there is more demand so ESPN can get the local cable and satellite companies to pay higher fees
Even through the SEC network is in Texas there is not the amount of demand for it by people who purchase these cable and satellite packages
If UT was in the SEC you could control the entire state

You don't understand the SEC
They want #1 or #2 but not both. They already have TAMU and that is enough to get the SEC west (Alabama) in TX. In the 90's they got SC when the Taters said no and they built up their market share. Cocks are now competitive so Taters are locked out in the future.
The other issue is harmony amongst the conference. AD's and presidents move in unison when they move. If Texas has just a no vote or two they might have a chance but if they have 3 or more it is not real probable to happen. Remember Florida (UF's president) and Kentucky (CKY is full of Texans) were the strong backers of TAMU to join. If TAMU says no, and UF and UK go along, Texas will not be in the SEC.

Up until this point you just seemed like you were trolling the former SWC members, now you have revealed the fact that it is just pure ignorance.
These deals are done nationally and Texas brings zero extra money to the table, any expansion will be into a state where there is no SEC school.
Ok State and WV bring more to the table than TX in terms of revenue, VA and NC both bring far more, sorry but thems the facts.
