From what I recall, when the Aggies and Mizzou joined the SEC, Bama and Tenn would only vote yes if they could keep their rivalry game. Slive would only add teams if their was a unanimous vote, and that was the only way those two schools agreed. So I think that was the driving force in keeping the permanent opponent (at least in recent years) Not a flame against those schools, they were looking out for their interests, just reporting what I remember.
