Does the SEC vote Ole Miss out?

[Dawgology]

So what I'm hearing is major sanctions coming for the Ole Miss football program. This coupled with their other programs that have received sanction and their very hit and miss success in basketball and baseball will the SEC pull the plug on them?

Honestly, MSU provides the most national exposure of the Misssissippi schools right now for th SEC...especially with Mullen and Dak connection and what appears to be the rise of Fitzgerald. Ole Miss will be a pariah for the SEC when the sanctions come down and then it will hit the SEC financially as that program details for the.m next decade.

The SEC could send a strong message by dropping them (regarding cheating) and could make some room to expand to a larger base. Maybe pick up Georgia Tech or one of the North Carolina schools. Ole Miss would do well in the AAC and that would set up a great rival for them in Memphis.

Can't expel a charter member according to conference policy. However, if they got a multi-year death penalty (not going to happen, at least not this time around), I don't see how the SEC could not break their own rules and expel them. Multi-year scheduling nightmare in addition to the black eye on the conference it would be.

[JoseBrown]

Nope. But it wouldn't bother me one bit if it could happen...

[RC3]

I thought you could be expelled with a unanimous vote. Will never happen though

[Dawgface]

Come on. Not happening.

[ShotgunDawg]

I wouldn't OM expelled because I wouldn't want that precedent set.

I'm not sure where MSU would fall in the pecking order to get expelled following OM, but it's a lot closer than Alabama

Heck no

[Reason2succeed]

That would be glorious but it would take a huge legal battle and an act of God. But then again OM is also a bad look with their racist emblems.

I think the SEC would fill the spot by once again trying to footprint. An Oklahoma school or two, Norte Dame, Virginia Tech, a North Carolina school, etc.

[Jack Lambert]

We are stuck with them just like a family is stuck with a convict brother. You don't mention his name during the Holidays but he is still your brother.

But on the other hand they might end up in the Big 12 and cheat their way to a championship.

[Liverpooldawg]

I shouldn't and won't be done.

[Quaoarsking]

If they get the death penalty (unlikely), yes. Otherwise no.

[Reason2succeed]

It's more likely that their delusional fan base pushes them to declare their independence from the SEC when they feel like they got screwed by the conference when they don't get the support AU got in the NCAA probe.

[TrapGame]

Nope, they will be the homecoming came for Jacksonville State and Troy in 2 or 3 years. They will be dead last in the SEC West for at least five years. We keep them and mock them.

They can be the BYU of the South. All their new recruits will have to go to Haiti for two years first though.****

[Reason2succeed]

The can have all the rebel flags and regalia they want.
They won't have to bide by archaic SEC rules that keep them down.
They can claim superiority over all of them who "need" a conference.
They can be a national brand and not just regional.
ESPN would probably give them their own network.

Unanimous vote would have to include Ole Miss's vote too, wouldn't it?

But, there is a way it can happen.

1) I'd pass new rules about revenue sharing to start with. Probationary bowl band mean you don't get anything. None from TV, none from the bowls, and no other revenue sharing agreements. You're getting no money from us anymore.

2) Then I'd vote on a new rule that no school with a team in death penalty status shall be allowed to vote at the annual meetings.

3) then, at the annual meeting, I'd call a vote to kick ole miss out of the SEC and make sure the 13 members are on board. 13-0. It's unanimous.

[1bigdawg]

I think the rules say two thirds rule, so it would take ten votes. In the very unlikely event that they get the death penalty, I believe it is possible.

[Bothrops]

They could always play cowboys and Indians and run their asses out of town and have the government seize control of the campus. This way they could use it to study garden hose maintenance, and walrus anus transplants for humans.

Surely they aren't THAT stupid.
