Got it.

Proximity matters, a lot. This whole "of course kids in Texas want to play in the SEC!" argument doesn't fly, because aside from LSU and Arkansas (proximity), they don't go to SEC schools in significant numbers now.
If you really think that a good talented kid in the deep south, with a lot more options in the SEC than a Texas kid has in the Big 12, will choose to go to Columbia over all the deep south SEC schools, then I don't know what to tell you.
