By that logic Kentucky isn’t an SEC school and the large secessionist population in NYC would mean CUNY should get a conditional admission to the SEC.
Logic doesn't have much to do with your personal understanding of the Texas part of the Confederacy.
"Some 70,000 Texans signed up to fight for the Confederacy in more than 100 infantry, artillery, and cavalry units. Upwards of 150 Confederate officers at the rank of Colonel or above were of Texas stock, including noted generals Albert Sidney Johnston and John Bell Hood."
"Characteristically, Texans distinguished themselves across many of the Civil War's battlefields. John Bell Hood's famed Texas Brigade alone shed blood right here at the epicenter of Antietam, assaulted Devil's Den and Little Round Top at Gettysburg, rolled down to Georgia to fight in the battle of Chickamauga, and, as they so often did, found themselves in the thick of the fight at the Battle of the Wilderness."
What else have you got?

No one is questioning that Texas was part of the confederacy. I’m questioning that being a favor in them being a south eastern state or belonging in the SEC. Kentucky never was in the confederacy, and NYC had a significant pro confederacy (and by extension a very anti war) movement. If Texas is automatically get a pass does that mean Kentucky has to go and CUNY get an invite? Or does being in and supporting the confederate government not change geography?
