Excuse us for not wanting to give the SEC an excuse to make us play Bama every year instead of every 2 or 3 years since "somehow" We draw you all more than anyone else just about

Bama is gay and I, like UK, don't care if you want 9 games. There is no incentive for us so why bother



Pretty much this.

We've played A&M once since they joined the conference (and took them to OT in the game we did play). There's absolutely no excuse for that but the conference has made sure that's happened. We're going to get fricked on permanent opponents with what has been released in multiple scenarios.

Waaaah!!!

Do you ever wonder why you start 6-0 and end up 7-5?
You’ve already got a shite schedule. Step up or step out to a basketball conference.
Your football program is just sucking the SEC tit and you should be glad for what crumbs you can get. And be glad you aren’t Vandy.

The bottom 4 or so football schools in this conference better be careful in how much they try to strong arm the big revenue generators they profit from, especially in any attempt that further weakens the revenue of the conference in the name of one more rent a win. Once the ACC gets raided, the next rounds of realignment will be contraction, not addition. Schools that take more than they add in revenue are going to either be forced to accept smaller shares or be kicked out of the 2 big super leagues entirely if the networks say they dont want to pay for a Vandy Northwestern game.

Take a look at Week 1 of this upcoming season. Its the weakest tv schedule Ive seen in years. LSU/FSU is the only game worth watching. The networks aren’t giving out billion dollar contracts for this shite anymore. The best programs need to be playing each other weekly.

Put Mizzou at the top of your list.

Surely the lawyers wrote a vague enough contract to trigger a re-working of the contract from such a large move? Currently there are 56 SEC games; with 9, it would bump to 72. over a 25% increase in inventory, and overall improvement in quality and name brand of revenue sports.
