You're missing the point. Why does Notre Dame still look attractive to the Big 10 after a decade of sucking on the field?
TV Eyeballs.
On the field performance is secondary to TV market performance. No one is claiming we've been a good football team the last 10 years.
If anything, A&M history of moderate success is actually a selling point to the SEC. We are a solid, historical program. The strength of a conference is in its middle. Every conference has 1-4 teams which are MNC hopefuls every year. The difference in quality is the SEC has another 6 teams below those that which can compete for a conference championship every year, and the occasional MNC. No other conference has that. THAT is what makes the SEC the premiere conference.
