SEC Softball:
**Vandy is only team in the SEC without a team
I mean obviously they more than carry their weight in baseball, but that's the only sport that really matters in which they field a competitive program these days.
I feel like the current atmosphere in college athletics just doesn't support a school like Vanderbilt with the ability to compete. At this point, they are bringing zero value to the league. I understand they are a Charter member of the conference, but at some point they either need to invest in competing in athletics or drop out.

Nah. Nashville needs to be an SEC city.

If you are going to reference softball...why not baseball? I bet I know why. 
Posted on 1/27/20 at 10:46 am to BHMKyle
That is never going to happen. P5 conferences do not kick out members
Posted on 1/27/20 at 10:46 am to BHMKyle
Nah. All those rich Vandy grads just need to embrace their inner bagman

They aren’t going anywhere. They LOVE that SEC check they get at the end of the year.

Nope

speaking of bad, why is Georgia's men's basketball program so historically bad? Sure, they had that great run in 1983 but obviously that was an anomaly.
Athens is close to Atlanta, the state has good HS basketball but save 3 or 4 years Georgia basketball has been a dumpster fire since the SEC's inception.

Don’t be stupid! Vandy has a more recent NC than UGA in the big 3

Last national championship in big 3 sports:
Vanderbilt: 2019
Georgia: 1990
Vanderbilt: 2019
Georgia: 1990

I could get on board with this had you said Missouri
Posted on 1/27/20 at 11:26 am to BHMKyle
We need them to keep up our GPA.
Posted on 1/27/20 at 11:29 am to BHMKyle
Every conference needs a private school for FOIA.

Vanderbilt wins in baseball and will be back in basketball eventually. They are academically superior to everyone else and produces some tremendous grads. They produce some good NFL talent too, believe it or not. And like someone said earlier, P5 conferences don't kick out their members. Besides, the SEC is set up the way it is to capture TV markets and MAKE MONEY. No one gives up the Nashville market, everrrrrrrr.

If you take the Winning % since the 2014-2015 Academic year in each of the Big 5 sports and then multiply them based on importance:
Football = 50%
M Basketball = 20%
Baseball = 15%
W Basketball = 7.5%
Softball = 7.5%
Here is how the Athletic Programs rank with the bigger sports weighted more heavily:
1. Alabama- 0.710
2. Georgia- 0.624
3. Florida- 0.597
4. LSU- 0.585
5. Auburn- 0.524
6. Texas A&M- 0.519
7. Kentucky- 0.517
8. Miss St.- 0.503
9. S. Carolina- 0.483
10. Tennessee- 0.461
11. Ole Miss- 0.407
12. Missouri- 0.407
13. Arkansas- 0.319
14. Vanderbilt- 0.292
It's actually closer at the bottom then I would have thought with Arky being so terrible in some of the bigger sports.... There is a gigantic gap between Missouri and those bottom 2.
The thing is, Vandy seems to be trending worse in most every sport other than Baseball.
Again, I just don't see what they offer to the league these days.

Terrible take. Vandy is an original member.
They havent had a great stretch in basketball lately thanks to two terrible hires but they are normally one of the bigger league pains in UKs arse.
Their basketball and baseball programs are better than Georgia's traditionally OP. You need a reality check.

If you don't want them, we'll take them and give you A&M.
