I don't understand this thinking. Is the SEC Network only carried in SEC states?

The SEC Network is carried nation wide, but there's a price difference between in-SEC footprint and out-of-SEC footprint. The prices are something like $1.40/month for in-SEC and $0.25/month for out-of-SEC.

By adding TAMU and Mizzou, ESPN and the SEC get to charge in-SEC footprint prices all over Texas and Missouri. Considering there are 33 million people (maybe like 11 million cable subscribers) in Texas and Missouri, the SEC is making a shite ton of money off of the SEC Network and the SEC's additions of TAMU and Mizzou.
