Vandy isn't going anywhere.
Vanderbilt likely won't go the pay for play route. They already refuse to upgrade facilities, and they don't offer the requisite required sports. Yes they are a legacy, and I suppose a partial membership would be possible. But if the opportunity was there to build the conference in a highly profitable way we could always consider 18:
Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin
Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Texas A&M
Auburn, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
It still works, and the revenue total would still be 90,000, possibly plus.
