There are 7 SEC schools that are strongly interested in blackballing certain universities from ever getting into the conference:

Kentucky - Louisville
Florida - Florida State
Georgia - Georgia Tech
South Carolina - Clemson
Texas A&M, Arkansas and Missouri - Texas

A 7-school bloc is half the conference. Louisville, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Clemson and Texas will never be part of the SEC.

Difference is
Louisville, Clemson, FSU and Ga Tech are not the main universities in their states

So by adding them it doesn't help anyone out truthfully unlike Texas with A&M

A&M is not the biggest university in Texas so by keeping out Texas the SEC for one is not allowing another conference to claim Texas. Like I mentioned before the other 4 states are considered SEC States no matter where the other universities go Not Texas. Texas is still considered a Big 12 state even with A&M in the SEC. Second and most importantly this pretty much monopolizes college football for the SEC

Texas and OU tip the balance of college football to whatever conference they go to

Funny thing is A&M allowed them to be put in this position. Their move to the SEC actually has made UT even more powerful in college athletics

I'm not sure the UT administration would allow any move to the SEC.

Sure, West Virginia is a glorified high school with chump fans, but why trade one West Virginia for 10 or 12 more? That would be too much. We've already gotten rid of the asshattery known as Arkansas Razorback fans.
