Vanderbilt generally abstains from votes, so it shouldn't be 13-1. My curiosity is if they are gonna offer us any considerations in scheduling, pod setup, etc for running this through despite our objections, or if it really is just straight shooting us the bird and saying deal with it.

The board seemed pretty convinced a couple days ago that some schools would vote "no" to letting Texas and OU join the SEC.
What happened?

Go back and listen to the interview with Bowen Loftin. The SEC leadership is not the same as it was 10 years ago. Mike Slive is gone and has been replaced by Greg Sankey. Sankey brings an entirely different mindset. The SEC is no longer a gentlemen's club made up of an association of equals.
ESPN is the driving force behind this change by virtue of having television rights to SEC games and ownership of the LHN. The change they are promoting is a win/win for the network. It brings two flagship teams into the conference they televise along with the opportunity to jettison the financial albatross LHN. And Sanky is all too glad to orchestrate a secret backroom deal to bring it about. What the member schools want is of no consequence.
It ain't gonna be like it used to be.
If our leadership vote against it it will be an all time cry baby move.SECTAMU#1 said:Reality?AvidAggie said:

Pretty sure the vote will be 13-1 in favor.
