This league honors teams that cheat, break the rules and try everything in the book to gain an advantage. While VU is busy making sure kids don't drink on official visits or go anywhere near tin roof, other schools have actual "hostesses" who sometimes cross over into "escorts".
In basketball, VU continues under Stallings to try and play a pretty, intellectual finesse game. That doesn't work against thug brutality when SEC officials don't call fouls. Finesse ball doesn't work when SEC teams are continually allowed to push and hold down low and foul our jump shooters with no call. In addition VU is always out athletes in every game, just like football is now.
Bottom line, VU needs to decide a couple things
1) is VU willing to do what it takes to be competitive?
2) is Vanderbilt Athletics willing to change in order to be competitive? I'm talking serious turnover in McGugin here. Can't change the culture with the same people staying in there.
3) can VU finally learn that in order to be succesful in the SEC you have to do what the succesful teams are doing?
