This questions pops up every so often. I think it is the most ignorant question that gets asked. So I would like to know why you are asking it? Do you not understand the benefits the rest of SEC teams get by having a Vandy on their schedule??? Would it be better to have say a Texas??? Also Vandy's academics bring a lot to the SEC. Do you not understand this?

Because our uber-intelligent fanbase makes the rest of you look better?

Hey, no matter how good every team in the SEC gets, somebody has to be the bottom-feeder.

"That's alright, that's okay, you're gonna work for us someday!" (My favorite Vandy cheer!)

Vandy's academics


Also the fact they are a charter member. And tbh they are decent at basketball and baseball. It's not all about football you know.

How does LSU or Bama or any other SEC school benefit by Vandy being strong academically? I mean, that's great for Vandy but I don't think when folks think of the SEC they are thinking IVY league academics. Do the other SEC schools get a portion of Vandy's academic dollars? I'm guessing no. Why should Vandy get a piece of the athletic pie when they don't contribute shite?

GT is a strong academic school and is much better athletically than Vandy. Why not court them?
