Vanderbilt and the SEC

[tragenvol]

What did you mean by this, perhaps I misunderstood @MLBrumby:

Everyone I've heard knows that Vandy wouldn't do it for less than a 30-50 million payout per year for 8-10 years. But there is one insider I know personally who said Vandy would not rule it out for the 'right price' (haven't heard what that is).  I think the "highest" and widest audience I've even heard this speculation was only a couple of times on Finebaum. 

Originally, I thought you meant leave and pay the conference the one-time exit fees associated withdrawal...but is somone saying Vanderbilt would be asked to leave and paid for leaving the conference?   Has that ever happened?  I wouldn't think the SEC would not consciously pay throw away revenue...especially at those amounts...huge revenue loss for no considerable reason with conference members with the final say so taking the hit in their pocketbooks.

Thanks for making this thread. It's a topic that alums have been discussing for over a year now. I'll try to get the mods to restore my comments... about 400 words giving reasons why staying in the SEC may not be entirely up to Vandy.

I’m not a Vandy fan by any means but I would totally be against them leaving, even though my team is in the west and Vandy is basically an automatic W for the football teams in the east. They’re an original SEC member and are very competitive in many sports, plus I think it’s fitting that Nashville stay an SEC city. TBH it’s a shame that Georgia Tech and Tulane left the conference in the 60s because Atlanta and New Orleans should be SEC cities too.
