It could happen.
Per NashvilleCityPaper.com...
[quote]They have set the record straight on West End.
The Vanderbilt Athletics Department kicked into high gear in responding to a local published report that season ticket sales for this coming football season have dwindled to less than 2,000. In a reactionary news release, Vanderbilt puts that number at just over 5,200.
Whew! For a quick second there, I thought we had a problem in Vandyland. Crisis averted.
Actually, even this adjusted total still has Vanderbilt 21 percent behind its sales pace in 2002, meaning that the Black and Gold are gushing red ink.

As bad as they are, I still really hope that doesn't happen.

GDawgs, UK is also a proverbial patsy for the SEC, but unlike Vandy, they have the power to go bowling as well. Vandy needs to go to I-AA, where it really belongs.

Raptor, no one is advocating kicking out SC. Unlike Vandy, SC has great fan support, and a history of winning in the past. That alone goes a long way!!

Vanderbilt isnt going anywhere and it's the stupid media/outside SEC people that constantly label that. Anyone that knows anything about Vandy and the SEC knows we would NEVER kick them out.
On a side not, I was doing some HW for my PR class and I read about William Henry Vanderbilt..lol

If the SEC had a chance to bring Texas or Texas A&M on board, and was determined to stay at 12, Vandy would be booted somehow, or would be encouraged to leave the conference. $$$'s are what controls everything this day & time southlink, and I'm an SEC fan.

Also, FYI Southlink, a Knoxville, TN newspaper had a serious article about how much Vandy did not fit in the SEC and even advocated booting them out. Care to retract your statement???

They can't kick Vandy out! If they did than their everyone's automatic win would be gone.

Unless you have some serious connections to the UGa or LSU athletic departments, I'm going to have a hard time believing what you say. We're just going to have to agree to disagree, ok?

I don't need any connections (but I do know Claude Felton) to know that the SEC has held Vandy to its chest for a LONG, LONG time and uses it's daily facilities for not just football, baseball, and basketball games but for meetings, conferences, and all other sorts of important things. Vandy gives the SEC a GREAT Academic school. Vandy competes in Baseball and Basketball every year. Hell, they didnt even finish last in the SEC in the directors cup.
Vandy out? Get real. Typicial Media BS by a bunch of people who are begging for a story.
