Not that GDP is in question here but you assume the sec is somehow the favored conference in those states. Maybe Tennessee. Georgia has a strong ACC component, Florida has a bigger ACC component than sec, and Texas is overwhelmingly a big 12 state. I live in texas. The only people in the state that pay attention to A&M are their alums. The rest of the sec distinctively lacks prestige - You can look up the rankings of all the negative socio-economic indicators in the US on a state by state basis you will find that of the worst 10, the majority will indeed be sec states. Here's a good one for a starter (7 of the poorest ten states are sec states):

Tennessee not looking so good now is it. It pains me that Missouri is that low too (and we are not even a southern state).
Yea, the conference does offer some stability and cash and it's great at football, but there is no prestige gained in being part of it.
