Texas has two schools that people care about, and one of them is now in the SEC out-recruiting the Longhorns. Texas is still more of a Big 12 state that an SEC state by far, but losing aTm was not insignificant by any stretch.
As for Florida, of course there are a lot of FSU fans. The Gators are still the biggest draw in the state, though. The fact that they don't dominate the state the way LSU does prevents them from having an oversized share of political pull with the conference. The SEC is extremely balanced in that regard...so balanced, in fact, that we don't need exit fees. Without exit fees, the Big 12 would look like a kitchen at a restaurant where someone yelled "INS".
