Can someone please answer this question for me?  How are the reigning NCAA Champion Basketball program and the most profitable basketball program in the country left on an island in the conference realignment game of chess?

Meanwhile, the following programs are on the "inside" of the conference realignment game?

Northwestern

Vanderbilt

Wake Forest

Virginia

Iowa St.

Oregon St.

Washington St.

What gives?

Also, I would be very curious if an open records request at UK would yield any findings about them using their veto card to prevent UofL from joining the SEC.
