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?

Well, it leads to cedibility of the league, and Vanderbilt is a charter member of the SEC. Only they can decide to leave, and that's not going to happen. They were also the winningest SEC football program until the 1960s, when Alabama passed them. Regardless, GT had their chance, and they left. If a team were to be added, I would want it to be them, but I don't see the format changing.

Do you remember a few years ago when the Big 10 commish basically called the SEC a stupid conference? You could expect much more of that, for starters
