The name of the person who supposedly had authority really doesn't matter in the least bit to anyone IMO. Words don't matter, actions matter. The actions taken were to rearrange teh schedule in a way that made no sense if the goal was to be either equitable or keep the normal rotation. LSU should have been @ Kentucky and Bama should have been playing @ UGA.
The Bama/UGA game would have been a highly interesting game that would have drawn big numbers to boot. It would have meant regular season matchups between A&M/USC, Auburn/UGA, LSU/Florida, and Bama/UGA. Instead what resulted was A&M/USC, UGA/LSU, UGA/Auburn, and LSU/Florida. The team that got an obvious pass was Alabama (note they are the only SEC team in the top half of the league not to play a major inter-divisional opponent). It was unfair to the other teams in the league and bad for the SEC not to showcase a major inter divisional matchup between all of the major teams from each division.
Like said before, Bama fans lost all ability to make the "just beat your opponents" argument when they were so upset about other teams scheduling bye weeks before they played... but I'm sure that won't stop more gumps from trying

LSU had just played UK in 2011. Plus before the additions UGa was scheduled rotate on LSUs schedule last year anyway. Just like UK was scheduled to rotate onto Bama's.
It wasn't some grand conspiracy you tinfoil tigers want it to be...
Carry on, I'm not arguing anymore with a tinfoiler
