It's possible you could eventually see a Louisville for Vanderbilt swap.
IMO I doubt there will ever be any horse trading like that. Now I could absolutely see Vanderbilt not interested in being a part of "Pay for Play" but I would be shocked if the SEC just booted them for another school.
The ACC is not going to boot Louisville out of the conference, nor is the SEC going to ask Vanderbilt to leave.
Horse trading...no.
It's more like both schools would see more value in being somewhere else.
I can see Louisville finding a lot rea$on$ to be interested in joining the $EC, But I don't see any reason Vandy would leave to the ACC. Less money, less exposure, not as similar from a cultural perspective... yeah I don't see that at all my friend
Agree that Vandy won’t leave.
But it’s not about money, exposure or cultural fit. Vandy is a wealthy school that would fit nicely with the private, research-based schools in the ACC. If Vandy needed a change of conferences, the ACC provides a good alternative. Georgia Tech already created a good path.
IMO, Vandy won’t leave because it’s a more valuable, and core, member of the SEC. In the SEC, Vandy is the sole private school…the institution that can host conference leaders without public disclosure requirements. It has an elite academic reputation that helps the entire conference. It’s located in near the geographic center of other members, in a booming city…Nashville is an ideal location for hosting SEC events.
In the ACC, many fans will view Vandy as a peripheral appendage for decades…the new kid on the block. IMO, Maryland and Missouri lost tremendous brand value when they moved to new conferences in the last round of realignment. Vandy doesn’t have a compelling reason to move.
