Looking at ability to generate resources, proximity to areas that produce lots of top prospects, fan support and tradition, Texas and OU are among the dozen or so real heavyweight programs in college football. If the Big XII implodes, Texas and OU will be chased by the B1G and probably also the PAC. I suspect the arguments below as to why the SEC will not pursue either will more likely than not prevail in SEC councils.

If the B1G lands both Texas and OU, its TV market will stretch from Texas through much of the Midwest into the Northeast. It will add two programs that are more than capable of competing year in and year out with Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State.

If the PAC lands both Texas and OU (even if it has to take Tech and OState) its TV market will include the two states soon to be #1 and #2 in population, plus the fast growing Pacific Northwest, Arizona and Colorado. That just might turn out to be the most desirable of the TV markets.

The bottom line in college football is TV revenue is a difference maker and it is determined by the size of the markets. In either scenario, the conference that lands both Texas and OU will end up with a substantially larger and more lucrative TV market than the SEC plus more of college football's heavyweight programs. And that would not be good for the SEC.
