If they wanted to "play in the best conference, have the highest chance of getting drafted into the NFL", they would have. They aren't. LSU and Arkansas get a small handful just due to proximity. Their games are already televised and they already get to play in front of friends and family (they'd actually do that more often with 3 Texas schools in conference rather than just one).
The "SEC is the NFL bullet train!!!" argument has not worked. Big 12 out-recruits everyone because Texas kids want to either play for Texas/OU, or against them. Texas A&M won't change things. Good Texas players are not going to be saying "damn those Aggies for not giving me a scholarship, I'ma goin' to go to Columbia!"
