With the likes of Clemson, Fla State, Miami, UNC, Washington, Oregon, Notre Dame, etc eventually moving into one of those two, I can see some among Vandy, Miss St, Missouri, Arkansas, Northwestern, Minnesota being squeezed out. Rutgers and Maryland certainly have the state wealth to ramp it up but will they ever?

By voting them off the island?

Conceptually, it kind of makes sense, but I don't know how it could work in practice. Schools would be afraid to vote for this (if the bylaws permit), because they could be the next ones out.

The schools on the outside looking in would sure disagree with that. They certainly aren't leaving of their own free will.
What exactly would they vote them out for? Not doing good enough? And at what degree? I'm sure all of those schools could make an argument as to their legitimacy to some degree.
If that were to happen, I've gotta believe there would be lawsuits coming.
I think there's only one way that would work. The teams that wanted to join together just left their conferences and created a brand new one. I doubt they would want to do that, but if they truly wanted to go on without the other schools, that seems like the only way to do so with less legal consequences.
The schools left out would either have to dissolve their conferences or bring up other schools to fill the void.
