quote:
You have to have a 2/3rd majority for accepting new members. If those five schools vote as a block, then no school can be accepted over their objections.
Actually it's 3/4. From 2013-14 SEC bylaws:
*3.1.2 Granting of Membership. Membership may be granted by invitation of the Conference at a meeting of the Chief
Executive Officers. A vote of at least three-fourths of the members is required to extend an invitation for membership.
[Revised 5/30/91] [Clarified/Conformed 6/1/11]
So 4 teams can block it.

So it's easier to override a presidential veto than it is to add a team to the SEC.
