Don't leave out leverage (regarding getting full share or not). SEC was never going to target OU/UW/Stanford/Cal, and the Pac deal was trash, with Big12 only being slightly better, but no long-term potnetial. ... Like at least imo the SEC would have added USC if they could have. Same way they would add Notre Dame if they could. Even if they didn't fit the geographic footprint they want to maintain.
Miami, FSU, Clemson, UNC though, all have more leverage. Cause even if the SEC isn't trying to get all 4 of us, there is that potential, which the Big10 has to compete with, which wasn't there for OU/UW...
