  1. The deal was announced December 2020, so before OU and UTx.
  2. There probably is and the negotiation is ongoing. May not be a bad idea to separate the OU/UT negotiation with the 9 game negotiation.
  3. It really looks like we had 5 votes for 3-6-6; 5 votes for 1-7-7; and 4 schools that wouldn't commit to either yet, hence the 1-year bridge schedule being voted in. I'm just glad they didn't lock in 1-7-7 for 8 seasons.
  4. There will also be a push for some of the rotation games that still haven't happened because of the ridiculously long 12 year rotation that the SEC adopted when Mizzou and A&M joined. Like UGA @ A&M or Ole Miss @ Florida
  5. Lots of words, so I'm not sure if you all want it pasted in full here. Trying to break down everyone's preference and why it is. https://flyoversports.substack.com/p/making-sense-of-sec-scheduling-preferences
  6. He must not know about the Med School.
  7. Because the SEC has 2 conflicting wants/needs. 1) Everyone wants to play everyone else more often. No one likes the current rotation which takes 12 seasons to complete a home-home with everyone. 2) There are a lot of existing rivalries in the conference. Most of the schools want multiple protected games. 3-6-6 is the format that handles both needs the best.
  8. Corndog explained... internet trash talk that somehow became a living meme. https://bamahammer.com/2011/10/31/the-corndog-story-lsus-nickname-explained/
  9. "becomes the 1st 16-team Power 2 conference to..." There had to be a better way to tell this joke.
  10. Except UGA. They still haven't made it to College Station and 2024 was supposed to be when it happened.
  11. They decided to not decide on 3-6-6 or 1-7-7. This is a one year bridge schedule with 8 games. It sounds like they will have at least 2 rivalries protected.
  12. Many people aren't aware of the insulating properties of loose tortillas. It will save you dozens. Don't ask yourself if you can afford to have it, rather can your family afford not to have it?
  13. I didn't think BYU had a Med School
  14. Sucks, but after letting CBS short change the league for a decade, I'm more than willing to wait a year or two for ESPN to come up with the cash, as long as it's a bridge schedule that doesn't kill any of the secondary rivalries the way a 1-7-7 will.
  15. San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl — NC State vs. UCLA Gift suite, fleece hoodie sweatshirt, short sleeve T-shirt, long-sleeve T-shirt
  16. Like what are we thinking here? Big 12 branded Timeshares?
  17. Maybe Kirk is adding the second half as speculation since that isn't part of the quote?
  18. Clearly, Florida and Georgia Tech have a Gentleman's Agreement.
  19. OP's dates are wrong. There are two lawsuits, for the 2021 and 2021 Holiday Bowls 2021 - UCLA pulls out at the last second, costing the bowl millions 2022 - Holiday Bowl goes as planned but they decide not to pay out the Pac-12 to cover most of previous year's cancellation, and calls it a wash despite still losing money. Pac-12 is suing for the 2022 payment, so Holiday Bowl is now suing for the 2021 debt.
  20. That would make sense. They have more slots to fill just this year.
  21. I think we are better off waiting. If we come up with a temporary 8 game schedule, it's because they don't have the vote to go to 9. But once UT and OU show up, that's two more 9-game votes. The crap would be the 8-gamers gaining enough strength now while UT and OU are not allowed to vote to lock in 1-7 for 4 or 8 seasons.
