Here is what Slive should bring to the table.
Mr president(s), we are now at a great advantage in the SEC because we have won 7 out of 8 national titles and appear invincible. But in the 80s and 90s we sent 5 to 6 teams to the NCAA tournament regularly, but we didn't play the game of up-scheduling like the other conferences and our 2nd place team got left out a few years back.
We need to up-schedule now. I know the coaches are against it and here is why:
1. They make milions of dollars and don't want another chance at a loss.
2. They think another conference game might keep them out of a bowl at 6-6, in reality who cares about a 6-6 team ?
As for what the extra confernce game means for the SEC:
1. More money, we give the networks 7 more conference games a year and we will have added value.
2. We will have a far better SOS with the added SEC games, and thus might have a better shot at getting 2 teams in the playoff.
3. Fans hate those West Carolina type games, lets give the fans what they deserve, make more money, and give ourselves a better shot at the playoffs, and let the coaches worry about their job of winning and losing whilst we do whats best for the conference.
