One less permanent opponent next season for men's basketball, Goodbye Tennessee?

[RUMMENIGGE]

Starting this upcoming season the SEC will reduce basketball permanent opponent from three to two. South Carolina current opponents are Georgia, Mississippi State and Tennessee. I think the South Carolina/Tennessee as permanent opponent will be ending.

I have no doubt we will lose whichever one gives us the best chance at winning two games.

What could happen is the conference gives South Carolina new permanent opponents. Also with the Big Ten expansion, starting next season I think every team does not automatically play in the Big Ten tournament and some teams may be left out. Not sure what the SEC plans are for the SEC Tournament.
