And if its Keenum's political pandering ass that gets to issue our vote, he won't need any extra incentive. He'll vote for them to stay and start counting those OM fan votes he picked up when he runs for Senate / governor / etc.

So we can put HSVDawg and basedog in the "Oh ye of little faith, naive non-believer" category.

HSVDawg, I thought someone posted a short while ago that only 60% of current members is now needed to remove teams from the conference. But again, it gets back to if TCUN can't compete by putting a team on the field, the SEC has to replace them on the schedule with somebody and why let another institution "mooch" off the revenues if they can't positively contribute to the revenues. Don't say "it will never happen" just because it hasn't happened to-date in the modern age of the SEC.
