HOOVER, Ala. -- While Monday provided a very cold open to SEC media days, Tuesday was consumed with off-field storylines.
Georgia, Mississippi State, Tennessee and Texas A&M all scrambled into the Wynfrey Hotel with extra baggage that turned most of the day's attention away from the actual game of football.
The most controversial issue entering Tuesday centered on Mississippi State's decision to allow freshman defensive end Jeffery Simmons to enroll on campus following the disturbing video of him punching a woman several times during a fight in March.
