About $$$$

Reason they left in the beginning. Didn’t have a thing to do with Texas

This is why message boards narratives get out of wack.
People start believing things that aren’t based on reality

Texas is the largest market for CFB
SEC didn’t want the state to be up for grabs.
They have full control of the state now.
You can do the research if you want. With the addition of Texas and Oklahoma
Texas is by far the largest state for SEC alumni.

Texas and OU not in the SEC allowed whatever conference they were in to establish a footprint.
Oklahoma just like LSU and Arkansas have a large presence in the state.

Goes back to Roy Kramer’s original plan in 1990.
Get Texas.
At that time the SEC only had a small presence through LSU and the Mississippi schools
Things have quickly changed.
