The private schools are where the conference hides the bodies. No information act.
Also, kicking schools out of conferences is extremely rare. Last time it happened at the highest level is when the Big East booted Temple football.
No one wants to establish a precedent. If you are Mississippi State, you are the next on the list if they boot Vandy. It is better to tolerate what Vandy brings to the table (elite academics, solid Olympic sports, and easy football win (every conference needs some easy wins) than trying to kick them out.
