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.

...they offer the NASHVILLE TV market...it's all about money, man. Win or lose, they are still SEC and is on TV every week regardless. TV = exposure = $. I'd like Vandy to be better. But, in the big picture it doesn't really matter. Alabama is the main money maker for the conference with its national footprint. But, all the other schools contribute their part in the money machine. It's not about "which" schools. If that was the case, the SEC would try to get Clemson or FL State to join. But, we already have those TV markets and therefore don't need those schools. You may not think certain schools bring value, but I guarantee you, the St. Louis (Missouri), Houston (A&M), and Nashville (Vandy) are financially important to the conference.

There is no "Big 5" sports in the NCAA. There is men's football and basketball, every other sport is still pretty much money losing amateur activity. There's no reason to separate baseball from Track or gymnastics, etc... when otherwise evaluating all sports programs

LOL. More like:
Football = 80%
M Basketball = 15%
Baseball = 3%
W Basketball = 1.5%
All other sports = .5%
