But if the SEC could have chosen to get tu/OU or tu/A&M who do you think they would have chosen? OU is still a blue blood, a national brand, with one of the most historic rivalries in all of college football, and provides immense value.

Now you're changing the entire argument. Of course you choose schools in different states. That's a silly question.

That'd be like asking me if the SEC could take Florida / FSU or Florida / Va Tech who would they take? They'd take Va Tech but not because Va Tech would bring the conference more money than FSU would if each were stand alones, but because the footprint would be increased since you already have Florida.

Again, I am fully aware that OU is a strong brand. But your argument has nothing to do with what I stated, which is 100% accurate. And conferences like the B1G would give 2 shites about that because they don't bring the entire package. TAMU does. Sorry. Call it being lucky to be in such a big state, call it being lucky that we're a strong academic brand, etc. But it's the truth.
