And the other have nots also need a whipping boy and will be concerned that they will be next if Vanderbilt gets dropped. Certainly if Vandy get's dropped it's only a matter of time before the discussions start on which Mississippi school to keep and which to drop because MS's population can't justify 2 schools.
There's a distinct possibility that schools like Vanderbilt eliminate themselves willingly in the coming sports landscape. We are headed for true 'pay for play' with athletes being employees of the universities they attend. There's a case winding it's way through Federal court now, Johnson vs NCAA that will likely open that door. Vanderbilt, Stanford, Northwestern, schools of that ilk may choose to de-emphasize sports and willingly drop from their conferences.
