Wait, I don't get this. Back when we were in the XII, if LSU and Arky (examples) had come over, I would have been ecstatic. So why are the original SEC schools not happy to have Texas/OU? Probably two of the best adds any conference can make.

I think old school SEC is scared, especially now in the NIL age.

Because Miss State wants to Play Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss and Kentucky every year.. and they can't with new teams.

Because Georgia wants to play Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, Kentucky, South Carolina & Vanderbilt every year, but they can't with with the new teams.

Because LSU wants to play Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss & Miss State every year, but they can't with the new teams.

It's an adjustment. Perhaps they will like it better 20 years from now.. but right now they hate the thought of not playing the teams they have always played.

In your example, if LSU and Arkansas had joined and as a result, we weren't going to play Baylor & Texas Tech every year anymore, while you may be okay with that, Baylor & Texas Tech most assuredly wouldn't have been okay with that.
