I have a tough time imagining that would have much effect one way or the other. In different divisions they'd rarely see A&M and neither would do much to improve the perception of the conference in terms of academics (not necessarily fair but I believe it's true).
At the end of the day the SEC is a football factory conference. Nothing short of complete insanity by the decision makers would lead GT to join, I've got a better chance of winning the Boston Marathon than Tech does of being competitive in the SEC on a regular basis. The differences in culture & in attitudes about athletics are so vast that it's barely recognizable as the same genre afaic.
