Money doesn't flow the same in the SEC as in the Big 12. Way more equal division of funds. TV deals, bowl deals, etc- Vandy gets the same as Alabama. So does Kentucky, despite sitting at home this season.

Rich can't get as rich, but your necessary losing opponents don't go broke. Makes for far more stable long-term success. Hence, someone like Tennessee doesn't try to move during a down-swing, like Nebraska did.

There are a ton of other sports besides football. Things like women's volleyball, golf, tennis... OU or UT having to go to the West Coast for half their games in those sports would be absolutely brutal. You have to take that into consideration
