Private emails.





That’s alllllll I heard back when we keep adding big12 programs.


Like it was the only secret way FOIA could be avoided.

Never. And if they would get dropped, it would suck. They're an original SEC member.
When it comes to football, the top tier teams all need a break from the weekly SEC meat grinder. The second tier teams all need a game on their schedule that they can say, "Yep, we ought to win that one".
Vandy has a good baseball program, they've had good basketball teams in the recent past, Nashville is a fun city, the school has good academics. They fill a role.

They're the perfect and historical doormat for football. Leave them nerds alone.

They’re a charter member. They won’t be dropped against their will.

Can’t believe this is getting downvoted. You are spot on.

Amazing what some people think is a pointless thread and what is not. I thought the Rant is supposed to be a talk forum, but some people try to make it their own personal thing. No room except for them.

When we pick up another private school as a FOIA shield.

Founding members of a conference do not get dropped. Founding members may move on to other conferences of their own accord, but they will not be voted out.
During the modern era, Vandy shuttered their whole athletic department & shifted SEC programs under intramurals oversight. Not sure they’re going to want to make the coming jump to minor league sports, especially since they already have plenty of $$$.

Vandy isn't good at any sport but baseball and those of us educated on their unfair advantage know why. They're average to below average in every other sport. Facts are facts.
