The SEC may be getting some pushback when it comes to moving their eight-game conference schedule to nine. The move would coincide with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma in 2024.
The setup could be between two different proposed models — one in which an eight-game schedule allows for a permanent rival and seven rotating opponents and the second in which a 9-game schedule allows for three permanent rivals and six rotating opponents.
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey seems set to make schedule changes, but he may have to deal with one burdensome leader that is opposed - Nick Saban, arguably the most famed head coach in college football.
