Vandy is obviously just along for the ride at this point, but I do wonder what happens to a school like South Carolina that loves football, but is gonna be around .100 in conference games for the foreseeable future and not gonna make any bowls unless they have an OOC slate full of absolute nobodies. What happens to their program when attendance/interest plummets. Do they leave on their own? Does the conference force them out for not pulling their weight?
This is why we should just be doing a tiered system with Pro/Rel.
They have been in the SEC for 30+ years and never won the east. That doesn't mean they don't have occasional exciting football, and usually play other teams close. They might have even been leading the defending national champions for 3 quarters this season. You're going to be waiting a long long time for "attendance/interest to plummet"
College football is anything but static and there is always an ebb and flow.
