I would guess that the SEC will pool local media right and try to launch the SEC network. Having the St Louis market as well as Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio will be a gigantic boost to revenue.

Missouri is a bit player on the scene and Aggy is just aggy. SEC already had 12 teams, no reason to expand their conference.
it is not just about the teams it is about the states the teams are in.
Jimbo - you are usually a little more tuned in to the nuances of these kinds of things. I'm disappointed. It's not about the on-field competition. It's not about weirdness of fanbase or how well they travel. It's not about overall athletic prowess or historical on-field performance. It's not about any of these things for the SEC. Nor is it about these things for A&M or Missouri. It's about MONEY. That's what it was about when CU and UU went to the Pac, and that's what it's about now. A&M and Missouri will give the SEC access to the media markets of Kansas City, St. Louis, San Antonio, Dallas and Houston. That's a freaking gold mine for the SEC. The BiG was stupid in not taking Missouri, IMO. Maybe they feel like they have enough money. The SEC never is burdened with those kinds of silly thoughts.
Look at it this way the Pac-12 got 250m+ for 12 teams, all things being equal youd have to expect to get 290m+ per year for 14 teams. And we know damn well they arent equal.
