The interview indicated that Alden first approached the B1G and was offered a junior membership for five years (namely a reduced conference distribution). Deaton then instructed Alden to look for alternatives.

Alden then approached the SEC and was offered a full immediate membership. (Note that at the time aTm had already left the Big XII for the SEC and the SEC was looking for a 14th member.)
