A&M wasn't going to join the SEC alone. Need equal amount of teams to join, keep the divisions balanced. We aren't CUSA.
Guessing the goal is 16. While I'm mostly joking about an Oklahoma conspiracy, that WOULD explain a few things:
why we didn't raid the ACC, but instead took 2 Big 12 teams. If the B1G could get Maryland, I think the SEC could have, too. Or one of the Virginia teams. If we are going school-by-school, ACC team makes way more sense than Missouri. A&M fits our geography, Mizzou doesn't. Not... unless, there are more teams on the way from the Big 12.
Why the Pac 12 deal fell through. Everyone saw Oklahoma as one of their targets, not Colorado. Maybe the Sooners saw the SEC as geographically more friendly than a bunch of West Coast trips.

No. They make the overwhelming majority of their money from one game... tu. And when tu was postering Pac 16/independent, it didn't matter to them, they know that game won't go away. And they have deep ties to Oklahoma State, they will not leave them. My uncle played for OU, my whole family is from that state. There is an overwhelming anti-SEC sentiment in that state. Trust me. If you spend any amount there you know they aren't going anywhere. The Big 12 is their home.
