Vanderbilt was a part of the SEC's "Original Big Four"

In 1894 the first Southern conference, the SIAA, was founded in Nashville comprised of only 7 schools (Alabama, Auburn Georgia, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Sewanee and Vanderbilt). It was not until a year later that several other future SEC schools joined the SIAA, (Google it). THE SIAA (Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association) is in essence the origin of the SEC. As far as history is concerned, Alabama, Auburn, Georgia and Vanderbilt represent the Big Four.

Uh... Vandy has absolutely no business being included in ANYBODY's "big four" unless the topic of discussion is SEC academics.

Vanderbuilt used to be a power. I fact Auburns record with Vandy is 20 and 20. Of course Princeton had 28 NC.

I like your style. I have no problem whatsoever with Vandy replacing UT in the Big 4. They should hold a vote. I am guessing it would 3-1 for the expulsion of UT and the inclusion of Vandy.

Had they known then what they know now they could have called the big four the big one.
