We were.

Texas has already built their empire- they are the richest program in college football. They aren't going to outright share that windfall with fellow conference members just because and they will demand special concessions to make sure they get a little extra LHN money or something else if they joined the SEC. They didn't need the SEC to build that empire of advantage and they will fight to protect it.

A&M on the other hand needed the SEC to stay relevant in the state. As we get built up as a SEC program we allow the SEC to raid Texas's treasure trove without having to deal with Texas's conditions for the sharing, because we will happily share with the partners that get us to that point. Its Clemson vs USC all over again.

Now if we are going 100% hypothetical and Texas comes to the SEC with no special conditions maybe they are a bigger prize, but at that point you are bending reality so much you might as well add the Patriots and Steelers to the SEC as well.
