Also officially eliminates divisions, and lamely kicks the decision on post-2024 scheduling down the road.
Will announce 2024 opponents for each team on June 14, but without specific dates.

Doesn’t make sense to decide on post-2024 scheduling until later. At LEAST settle on the format for four years in order that the league round-robin be completed.

UT complaing "VU is not our rival" Bama, Florida etc are their only rivals. What is their recent 10 year record vs Bama?

Wonder if this has more to do with negotiating with ESPN on how much it will pay for the 9th game than anything else.
If not UT I guess our permanent foe would be UK or that other big 12 refuge Mizzu. Frankly, I think we are stuck with them regardless

My practical side tells me that, too.
My cynical side says they just couldn't make a decision.

Re: SEC Sticks with 8 conference games in 2024
I'm not seeing that sentiment much BUT: do you really want to make the point that they would rather play a tough schedule than a weak one?charlestonalum wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 7:14 pm UT complaing "VU is not our rival" Bama, Florida etc are their only rivals.

Can't scamper or slither...but I used to swim.

If they don't do divisions, then how do they decide who plays in the SEC championship football game?

Top two finishers advance...potentially using a lot of tiebreakers guaranteed to upset everyone.historybill wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 1:45 pm If they don't do divisions, then how do they decide who plays in the SEC championship football game?
