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.
If it was that easy it would have happened somewhere by now.

But why? To me, the only reasons for kicking somebody out would be if a school dropped, for example, football, or if they were repeat NCAA offenders to the point they received the death penalty more than once.
In any case the same rules apply to inviting new members as kicking somebody out: at least 2/3 of the members vote "Yes".
But after re-reading the OP several times I'm still not sure what argument he's trying to make.
ETA: I get it now, I think. He's saying that if we kicked out Vandy (which will never happen, but go with it) that they would only be replaced by another private school because FOIA requests involving the entire conference won't work.
