re: How Would a 13 Member SEC Schedule Play Out if it Came to That?

I'm not insinuating the cheating itself will necessarily get them kicked out. Even if they received some sort or death penalty/program suspension, it doesn't mean they would have to be replaced in the SEC. I think their jeopardy in terms of their standing in the SEC is in due to all the other sideshow crap going on. Lawsuits against SEC member student athletes, former coaches filing lawsuits, and let's not forget then Miller/Tunsil lawsuit that has "John Doe defendants" 1-50 attached to it. Imagine what kind of circus that's going to be if it isn't quietly settled behind closed doors.

Universities commit violations and get caught, and the NCAA and conferences deal with it and move on, but at what point does the SEC step in and say the clown show surrounding this is detrimental to the conference as a whole and issue an ultimatum to ole miss to shut up and take their medicine like big boys? I understand they can't force it, but they can obsioulsy take action to encourage it or punish them in their own way.
