Yes it’s been reported on extensively, the divide was originally between the big schools like LSU and Alabama, who wanted 9 games whereas the smaller schools wanted to stay at 8 because they were worried about staying bowl eligible.

It was trending in the direction of the 9 games winning out when it was revealed to school leaderships who the permanent opponents would be, thats when Alabama changed their vote and Saban publicly explained why.

Now Alabama fans either pretend none of this ever happened or talk about scheduling balance. Both of which are hilarious for various reasons.

With the addition of Texas and ascension of Ole Miss , LSU is at best the 5th team in the SEC, so “big school “ is debatable

I know, for a fact, that SC was fine with 9 games, even preferred 9 games, as long as the Tennessee, Georgia and Florida games remained on the schedule, along with the sheep humping sister bangers.

They completely fricked everyone with this nonsensical 8 game schedule they came up with not honoring old time games with natural rivals.

SC and UGA have played some 70+ games if I remember correctly ... and BHam didn't honor that.
