Why wouldn't you want to improve your conference

It's not about competition, expansion today is about markets. The SEC owns the Texas markets with A&M, just like the Florida market with UF. We have a presence there.
The places we don't have markets are in NC and VA, which will be the next expansion areas.

We only added Missouri for St. Louis and KC markets.

The entire college football world has sat back and watched the UT business model in action in their conference.

UT couldn't even improve the conference they're in now. The SEC is in better shape today than it's entire history. Why would the SEC voluntarily take on a high maintenance problem child?
