Private Universities are not required to disclose certain information and correspondence to and from them is shielded from the Freedom of Information Act.

ACC: Boston College, Duke, Miami, Syracuse, Wake Forest
Big Ten: Northwestern
Big XII: Baylor, TCU
PAC 12: Stanford, USC
SEC: Vanderbilt

Only two schools on that list are mediocre academic schools as well.

In closing, Vanderbilt is not being kicked out of the SEC unless they are replaced by Rice or Tulane.

I don't see any mediocre academic institutions on that list. TCU maybe.

Only the truly dim witted advocate for Vandy to get kicked out of the SEC.

Alright. But most academic rankings have them within 5-10 spots of A&M.

It's pretty amazing that more people don't realize this. Vandy's value is far beyond their baseball program and athlete GPA.

Baylor is fraudulent as well. Only Baylor would pay current students to retake their SAT to attempt to inflate their academic rating.

Only 2 of those aforementioned schools are NOT AAU members. Guess which two.

USC is a fine school. Ranked way ahead of anybody in the SEC not named Vandy.

Stanford, Duke, and Northwestern are on another level from the rest of those schools

You can't just kick a school out of the SEC.

Vanderbilt is a great asset to the SEC, but this business about privacy is hokum.

The med school is good, but the rest isn't anything to write home about.

Actually you can:

*3.1.4 Termination of Membership. Membership may be terminated voluntarily by the resignation of a member or involuntarily at a meeting of the Chief Executive Officers. A vote of at least two-thirds of the members is required to terminate membership. Any motion to terminate membership shall specify the effective date of the proposed termination.

...but I don't know why anybody would even consider this with respect to Vanderbilt.

So you newbies consider yourself on notice. Don't tick off the original ten members.
