If you're looking to kick out Vanderbilt as a founding member, just know that eventually it could be you.
After Vanderbilt, why would the SEC keep Mississippi State?
Same for the Big Ten. Once Northwestern is gone, why wouldn't Purdue be next?
I think it's a very slippery slope and, honestly, it shouldn't be entirely about revenue. There has to be some consideration for "tradition" and what got college football to be such a big deal in America.
You start kicking schools out, especially long-time members, and that's when I probably completely lose interest. That's now what college football is about.
