Agree that this one way to get the required no votes. Make a pact with Scar and Fl for future no votes on Clemson and Fl St. would have to have a no from Arky or Mizzou as well.
I feel like LSU is probably agnostic. If it means mo money they will vote yes
The other tactic to fighting this is the business case. Would adding tu & OU really add to annual payouts to conference members. We got something in the ballpark of $45 mm last yr from the SEC . So adding 2 more members would have to increase the conference revenue by at least 2 x $45mm in order not to dilute member payouts.
