If the money was right, they would 100% move forward. Gotta love these lying university presidents.

Right?? It’s 100% about the money and nothing else

I think more importantly, what are they going to do about preserving rivalry games as the conference expands?

I don’t think they care about that.

Or just leave the conference the way it is now. Maybe go back to having 12 teams.

I wonder if they've loaded up all the data and put it into AI and see if it might come up with something better than the humans?

When the SEC had 10 teams, they played 7 conference games. Now they will have 16 teams and they only play 8. Completely ridiculous. They are correct that they should not play 9, because they should be playing 10.

I think the problem with 10 conference games is a situation where the league eats its own and gives less of a chance for playoff opportunities

I was for the 9 game until I read a piece on CBS yesterday stating what was said here. That extra loss plus all the extra playoff games would be punishing when we go to the 12 team playoff.

I think I'm in the 8 game model now but having only 1 permanent opponent sucks.

When other conferences start winning national championships then they can tell the SEC how to make it's schedule. Sound fair?
