If it expands, the SEC will lose their sticktogetherness that it currently enjoys. Right now the SEC schools all love each other. I wouldn't be surprised if Tennessee fans rooted for Alabama over Texas. Other conferences don't share that love. To be honest, I don't really care how many of the other Big 12 schools do. I rooted against Kansas against UNI in the Ford Center in OKC. I root against Texas all the time and against Oklahoma State unless they're playing Texas. I don't really like half of the teams and I don't care what it means for the conference. I'm an OU fan and my allegiances don't spread much further than that. SEC fans are team first, conference second, personal biases third.
