It's Happening! Interesting SI and ESPN Reads on Future SEC Football Scheduling Beginning in 2024

- Start date
The defense wasn't much better. Their offense was as putrid as ours coming into the game, but they sliced through our D like a hot knife through butter on their second series of the game.
I agree with that. Yet the total points surrendered should not have been insurmountable against a team as bad as Missouri.
The author of that SI article knows nothing about SEC football. Why would Florida play Oklahoma every year? Why would Carolina play Auburn every year? Arkansas-Kentucky?
He could have done a much better job of matching teams up with a little more work.

Notre Dame is the key to all of it. I hope they stick with the ACC. I doubt they do.It will be sooner than most expect.
This time ND may not be, nor any one school will be the driving force. Perhaps a package of 3 ?
If Notre Dame goes to the Big 10, probably they put the SEC in a highly reactionary mode. For one thing, the Big 10 might take multiple teams. The SEC would have to respond in kind. From there, a time would come where conferences have to subdivide due to becoming cumbersome. At that point, the Power Five would become the Premier Four.
Mr. Sankey is ready to get the scheduling model done. Soon:
Speaking with OutKick for an upcoming edition of The Trey Wallace Podcast, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has his sights set on spring meetings in Destin as a date for when the new format will be revealed. In Sankey’s mind, he would welcome the chance to get this done before coaches, presidents and athletics directors meet in three months.
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey is the guest on a new episode of The Trey Wallace Podcast, dropping soon on OutKick.
Between now and then, though, there are still many questions for Sankey and his team to answer.
“What are the continuing annual opponents? What are those that rotate? Is it eight or nine [schools]? Then how often do we see everyone rotate through the schedule?” Sankey asked rhetorically to OutKick. “I think we have from today about 90 days to figure that out. I welcome the chance to make decisions before we go to Destin. …

I don't see how he can go with an eight-game model when the Big 10 does nine. That would undoubtedly leave meaningful money on the table and slow down rotation of conference opponents through all the schools.Mr. Sankey is ready to get the scheduling model done. Soon:

Schools, not teams (although in the case of ND, who cherishes gridiron independence, teams might be applicable).
A reminder, once again, that about 100 years ago, ND sought admission to the B1G, but were turned down because they were a Catholic school. It sounds so ludicrous these days.

Should have brought Ga Tech and Tulane back in.
You know, it's like being in a pretty big church. I wish it were otherwise but people come and go all the time. The wheels keep turning.
Expansion is about adding teams. Teams are bigger than schools now. Schools are mere names, fronts for the teams in this context. How many of them with teams that play at this level are dropping football out of outrage over the mercenary nature of all this?
Schools drop football if it becomes unsustainable. Many dropped it around WWII; Gonzaga comes to mind. For whatever reason, I think of Marquette who dropped football after 1960. And then there's Erskine bringing it back after an almost 70-year hiatus. Others, like Sewanee and the University of Chicago, dropped down to D-III
Right, so no one playing Div. 1 football at the FBS level and who survived the days of financial or philosophical retrenchment are likely to be dropping football over current issues. Thanks.
While I detest politics on a sports board, I find occasional humor refreshing.
