But if the majority of other teams in the SEC want them in the conference, there is nothing Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Texas A&M can do to stop it.
You have to have a 2/3rd majority for accepting new members. If those five schools vote as a block, then no school can be accepted over their objections.

Actually it's 3/4. From 2013-14 SEC bylaws:
*3.1.2 Granting of Membership. Membership may be granted by invitation of the Conference at a meeting of the Chief
Executive Officers. A vote of at least three-fourths of the members is required to extend an invitation for membership.
[Revised 5/30/91] [Clarified/Conformed 6/1/11]
So 4 teams can block it.
