If you really think about it nobody has to kick anybody out, the teams that are going to evolve will simply form a new conference with partners of their choosing, pick a name that pays homage to the old one or whatever floats your boat, and jump ship. The old teams will remain in the old conference and the new teams will have all the money and TV deals like they want. They can achieve it in any number of ways. It's going to happen eventually, the Vanderbilts of the world can only ride the coat-tails for so long.
