The new SEC schedule is a travesty

When Mizzou visits Oxford next year, After the Rebels visit Columbia in 2014, The teams will not play each other in conference play again for an entire decade. That's what the new schedule does. SEC teams play the same 7 conference teams every year, and play the other 6 twice every 12 years.The old schedule had the other five teams in the opposite division played twice every 5 years. I want you to think about that. in 2018, every single 4 year student at Miss will never get to see Ole Miss play Mizzou while they are a student. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. Every single group with their own own 4 years of reach would never see Ole Miss play a fellow conference team. How fricked up is that?

Would people continue to watch the NFL if The Saints played the Falcons, Bucs, and Panthers four times every year, and then played two NFC teams and two AFC teams? No. Nobody wants to see teams play the same exact team every year. What's the point of being in the same conference if you play most sunbelt teams with more frequency?

Serious fans want to go to Athens or Gainesville or Tuscaloosa to see their team play. They want to experience what Columbia or College Station has to offer. You miss that next trip to Knoxville? Guess you'll have to wait 12 years.
