Well....
A) these agreements are made well in advance. Many of these were probably made when they were still Bevo XII
B) many are in-state. A public institution keeping revenues in-state.... hmmmm, I've seen plenty of arguments for doing just this from several fanbases. Including my own fanbase of LSU (or a portion of it); many would rather play Tech or McNeese than have Kent or Towson come in.
C) The SEC sets some of these "cupcakes" based on geography (e.g. Ga Southern, UAB) as part of the SEC's support of the region. Both Mizzou and TAMU will get transitioned to that. Much might not change for TAMU, the SEC wants it's footprint all over TX as much as possible. Hence, TAMU will continue to play the likes of Rice.
In the end, because of equal distribution of revenues means (C) benefits all schools in the SEC.
