Southeastern Conference spring meeting begins with some tough issues

It always seems a bit ironic the Southeastern Conference chooses such a laid back setting for its spring meeting. If there is one sure thing about the high-octane SEC, laid back, it isn’t.

Just steps away from a sun-swept beach, there are agenda issues that are sure to bring disagreement. And there is one non-agenda item that will come up in most media questions about the state of basketball in the SEC.

A healthy portion of the time will be spent in self-congratulatory praise. It will not be undeserved. Southeastern Conference football programs gained four of the top eight spots in the final AP Poll.
