I don 't know what to think about Ala fans as posters vs those I run into on a daily basis.
Most of those I know don't want any extra help from the SEC in scheduling and are a little embarrassed when Slive et al preside over this type of stuff.
Even if one assumes there was no intention to favors Alabama (that's kinda tough to get around, by itself)the result is precisely that, and it hurts the league's credibility as a whole.
Does Slive think nobody will notice?

The college game is built on tradition and rivalry. If it gets rid of that, I'm done with it. Not like it offers much else...
I think Tennessee and Alabama knows this and will not allow it to happen. And the game works in cycles. Tennessee will be back.

I don't think it will hurt any legacy. Do you think in 5 years anybody but those in this thread will even remember anything about scheduling. I would prefer to have played a harder game or at least more a more interesting game, but we have to play kentucky some time. Alabama fans want to keep playing Tennessee because they are a rival. Not because they suck, we didn't try and get out of the game when we were on a 6 year losing streak.
I also think that it is just as likely that the proposed schedule is the one that just happened to work out the easiest, with minimal disturbances to the natural rotation. I know Georgia was supposed to rotate on last year but the wanted to give both new schools a big time cross division game. Thus we played Missouri, and Missouri was thought to be the more competitive team coming into this year. Kentucky was supposed to rotate on this year. And if you disregard the permanent opponent (when thinking about any possibility of the SEC Office favoring Alabama). You are really talking about a single game in the season.
I don't want to get into this again today. There will be something else to bitch about in a couple years and all of this will be forgotten everywhere except the message boards.
