I think it's wrong to say money is the only driver for the SEC.

I have thought a lot about the Northwest schools going to the SEC, which would get to one-up the Big 10 by making such a move.

I think it makes sense for the Northwest schools if you think (probably rightly) that the Big 10 only really wants to expand if it gets Notre Dame. 

OSU and WSU, at least with WSU's ag focus, have a tinge of the qualities that make up SEC culture, I think.

But politics just absolutely scuttles the idea on both sides.
