They wanted to be the only smart school in the conference! LOL

I know there is a sizable contingent that think Sankey and the other school presidents will do anything to get more money, but I wouldn't discount the fact that the SEC has been so strong because all the schools are united.
If they bring in tu, a school known for double-crossing it's fellow conference members at every turn, to the objection of several schools then that starts to dow the seeds of a messy divorce. Not unlike the one the BDF has gone through for 10+ years now. Maybe Sankey doesn't want that.
No. Florida was the one who suggested to Bow-Tie we move to the SEC. President of Florida at that time and Loftin always sat next to each other at AAU meetings because they were assigned alphabetically..Aggies2009 said:
Originally I think it was Florida that killed it because they were afraid of the tortious interference lawsuits from Baylor.
Two weeks later, we handled getting out of the Big 12 and then everyone but Vandy voted us in.
Agree. The numbers are not adding up to me. More like fairy dust.halfastros81 said:
Does the OU/tu combination really bring enough $ incrementally to justify 2 more conference members tho? No doubt it increases value but is it $90mm per yr in value because that's what it takes to maintain the payout to each member as I understand it. That's the number that is the key imo.

Can someone explain it?

Vandy has to abstain or it opens them up to open records acts that they otherwise don't comply with as a private university.
The only deal sweetener that I would remotely consider would be if ESPN gives a sizeable equity stake in the SEC Network to the conference.AgBQ-00 said:They're bringing the sacks of Bebee bucks to sweeten the dealaggiehawg said:Agree.

Only if they count as part of the voting pool. Seems odd that to put them in the 16 denominator since an abstention would really be a negative vote then.halfastros81 said:
So Vandy cannot vote yes? That's just as good as a no if I read the bylaws correctly. It takes a minimum 75% approval.
Except it doesn't. Maybe you stick to medicine, what do you say, sawbones?Expert Witness said:nawlinsag said:

If true, it makes sense.

Just speculating. No idea how any of that actually works.
