Nebraska actually did get booted out. They are the only school ever to

actually put it to a formal vote. All the other schools have left voluntarily when it was obvious they would not survive a formal expulsion vote. Nebraska actually only lost the vote by a few votes.

So Syracuse voluntarily dropped out?**
Old Line Hokie • 08/29/22 05:18 PM ET
