[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 957541, member: 1776"] As I stated earlier I don't think the discussion among the Presidents is about whether to admit the schools anymore, it is about how much of that additional money is going to be distributed equally and how much is distributed based on performance metrics agreed to by the Presidents. When that is finalized is when I think a vote is taken and new members added. Also, keep in mind even the addition of 1 member dilutes the strengths of dissenting programs. Going from 15 to 16 means 4 votes no longer is enough to stop a decision, now you need 5 schools to stop a decision and I doubt any of the schools that might be added are likely to argue against what the significant majority of schools want to do. It reduces the power of Clemson, FSU and the NC Schools. Before the 4 NC schools could vote to block anything (though they are hardly a monolith as this expansion has shown with them splitting 2-2 in the first informal vote), they no longer could do that with new members. I'll also add that it has been reported that GT has been one of the strongest proponents of this expansion, which tells me Batt and Cabrera see this as a positive for GT. [/QUOTE]
