Except that I believe you're underestimating the importance of the "Southeastern" portion of the conference name where the SEC is concerned.
The definitions may been stretched a little with the addition of Arkansas is truly more SW, and would be stretched even further with WVU but could be a cultural fit in many ways. Pitt on the other hand ... well, I have a tough time believing the member schools or their fans would have any desire to see a school they completely identify as "Northern" being added.
