The SEC knows that at 16 the best that they could hope for is either Texas and Texas Tech or Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. There is no political solution that would allow the SEC to grab Texas and Oklahoma without "little brothers".
Texahoma would come with a price . The B1G owns content from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech and I would speculate that Missouri is the price of release. That would leave the SEC with 17 and only redundant market choices (that ESPN won't pay for), that means one in the east has to go......get out the sauteed olive oil and finishing cheese.
But in the end the acquisition of both Texas and Oklahoma could easily justify the expense...sorry Cocky, it's just business.

I'll give you credit, you're a good storyteller. You have quite the imagination.

For the record, olive oil and cheese goes great with chicken and pasta.
