Texas is less valuable to the SEC than it is to the B1G/ACC/PAC, and Oklahoma really has limited appeal because they don't have huge alumni numbers and lack a national fan base.
ESPN may leave some money on the table, but their advances moving forward will be more cautious.

Whether or not this is true doesn't change their national appeal. Everyone knows Oklahoma. I'm sure they would be warmly welcomed in any conference (perhaps with a condition or two.)

Yeah I'd be interested in what defines a "national fan base" and how you determine whether or not a team has one.

Notre Dame I think we can safely say has a national fan base...but who else and what defines that?
