Im beginning to think Mississippiwill get the Death Penalty

[Reason2succeed]

It never ceases to amaze me the number of guys on here who will come out and flatly say "UM is not getting the death penalty." Talking about the possibility of the death penalty only hurts UM.

They just don't understand

Yep, kick those bastards while they're down. After all, their cheating ways resulted in tainted victories on the field of play. They need to be held to account in all facets with the most extreme punishments possible, especially if its proven that their cheating spanned almost a decade!!!

OU is a helmet school near the level of Bama. Population wouldn't matter due to the content they would offer. OU in the SEC west (replacing Bama) would be a huge win for the conference. UMiss getting kicked out would be a big plus for the SEC coffers in that scenario.

This, they have a huge following that lives all over the country. Replacing Old Misses with them only increases the shares and it strengthens the SEC brand. It is an interesting point that Liverpool brought up though even if it doesn't apply in a replacement situation.

The moral of this story is that we need to encourage the Rebel faithful to follow through and hire private investigators to find dirt and attempt to blackmail NCAA investigators as well as proceed with a law suit against the NCAA.

I don't think the SEC can expel a charter member. But the thing to remember is Mississippi will lose it's share of SEC money for the duration of the probation, at the end or the probation they will receive half of the money they would have received. That's approximately 31M/year of money they don't have in their athletic budget.

Why do people propagate this nonsense? From the SEC Constitution/Bylaws (Page 3):

*3.1.3 Suspension of Membership. Membership may be suspended at a meeting of the Chief Executive Officers. A member
may be suspended at any time by a vote of at least two-thirds of the members, either indefinitely or for a stated period, for any
conduct deemed to be incompatible with membership. [Clarified/Conformed 6/1/11]

*3.1.4 Termination of Membership. Membership may be terminated voluntarily by the resignation of a member or
involuntarily at a meeting of the Chief Executive Officers. A vote of at least two-thirds of the members is required to terminate
membership. Any motion to terminate membership shall specify the effective date of the proposed termination.

Let's see:

MSU, Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, Florida (Thanks Scott!), Georgia for sure, so that leaves three more and I could definitely see Arkansas and Tennessee wanting them gone. They seem to get along pretty well with Auburn. All it would probably take is guaranteeing Mizzou moves to the SEC West to get them on board and Vanderbilt probably would go along and vote them out as well.

They've pissed off so many people in recruiting I could see the SEC garnering enough votes to do it if it came down to it.

I agree and think the same thing. Also, moving Missouri to the West, adding Oklahoma in the West, and moving Alabama and Auburn to the East would be perfect!

Only way you'll get any votes let alone enough votes to boot Ole Miss is to have the replacement team guaranteed ahead of time and that cookie would have to be Oklahoma. Nobody is booting Ole Miss for VTech/NCState

Keenum won't vote them out, real bad politics in this state.

Keenum has his eyes on the Senate. Agreed- he isn't voting OM out

I keep telling y'all....look for Ole Miss to be removed from the SEC either voluntarily or by vote. It may not pass but I think it will. If it doesn't pass then it will be by the slimmest of margins. The SEC is a money making company and the bad PR that is about to drop resultant of this investigation is more than most of y'all realize. This is an athletics AND academic issue. The SEC is a gold standard in both of those and now a member institute is about to get hit with major sanctions due to academic and athletic violations that span multiple years, coaches, and programs. This is a game changer for the SEC. Do we, as charter members, allow their membership to tarnish the SEC or do we move them out (make a statement) and move someone worthy in?

Acting like the death penalty is a real possibility makes people that aren't die hard state fans think everyone on here is a lunatic. There's a lot of good inside information on this site but people will point to that type of fringe thinking to try and prove a point that people on here have no clue about anything. ED has broken a lot of stuff on the OM investigation and probably will break even more. Ole Miss isn't getting the death penalty and acting like you think that's a real possibility hurts the credibility of the people on this site that have real sources and know shit. People that are breaking things on here are telling you 30-40 scholarships with multi year bowl ban.

He specifically addressed that. The current members won't take a pay cut and if you ADD Oklahoma he said it would be a large one. There just aren't enough TVs in Oklahoma. The TV market there wouldn't bring in enough to offset the extra share. Now if they were replacing someone all bets are off. Mississippi's market is even smaller. That's why I wouldn't vote to throw UM out. As has been pointed out, it sets a bad precedent.

**** Old Misses! Those wannabes are better of being independent anyways. They want nothing to do with this state already so Mississippians should feel no guilt supporting the boot. Replacing OM with Oklahoma is like exchanging a peso for a ben franklin.

That would be so awesome, but I don't believe it will happen, and I don't even think its being talked about. However, my sources are you guys, so I don't know much of nothing about any of this, except I hope UNM burns.
