You’re right, schools aren’t getting kicked out. If you look at every situation, it’s been more of a selection process where schools are ‘left out’.Kicking teams out is complicated. It's more than sports. Look at the B1G ---- they have the B1G Academic Alliance in which each school integrates many of its services/offerings/research with the other member schools. Also, each B1G school has partial ownership of the BTN. It's not as simple as "Well ok, you are kicked out of the B1G, now go away." I don't see any school getting kicked out. Plus, someone has to eat those football/basketball losses for the top brands.
If and when there is a split, schools like Rutgers, Vanderbilt and Northwestern will be just like Cal and Stanford, waiting at the mailbox wondering where their invite is.
