obviously they'll make more money, and it'll be nice to be out from under the control of Texas, but their teams aren't even going to be remotely competetive in the SEC. they were barely any good in the Big12. they lost their best rivalry and move to a conference that's so well established that they'll always be an afterthought. they're like the BC of the SEC, except at least now BC has a couple of neighbors in their conference.
i'm not sure how much more they stand to make in the SEC, but it can't be enough to justify destroying all of your tradition and hopes to be competitive. you build yourself by winning, not being an eternal punching bag at the cool kids table
