You have no proof of the alleged voting block either


it's all just internet hearsay. there's no proof of either. the bottom line is that SEC expansion has hinged on adding to the footprint. whether that philosophy was at the behest of ESPN or the member schools is the multi-million dollar question.

at the end of the day, the GOR is a totally different animal than the exit fee. every credible source in the media and member schools have come to the consensus that it's pretty iron clad (since it is literally a grant of rights) and highly unlikely to be challenged in court given the uncertain outcome. the proof for that? the exit fee has been challenged and the GOR has not. OU would be gone in a nanosecond if not for the GOR.
