SMU didn't destroy the conference. It is just politically easier to go after the school without a state in the name.

The Governor of Texas (a major SMU supporter) personally ordered the slush-fund payments to continue after SMU's first probation, I think that came in 1983.

I wouldn't exactly call SMU politically weak at that time.
