It’s less than two weeks until the SEC spring meeting in Destin, and they will be lively and in person. The league had to do the last two years virtually, which may have been the way to go this year if Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher are in connecting rooms and decide to have a steel cage match.
But we digress. There is plenty Greg Sankey and the power brokers of America’s Conference will have to discuss during these meetings – the transfer portal, NIL, and most importantly for the fans, the scheduling of the conference games when Oklahoma and Texas join the league in 2025.
Athletic directors from the league have had plenty of private and sometimes public discussions about what will happen. One thing I wonder – how much input will the coaches have?
Maybe very little. And most of it is usually presented individually to the respective ADs before these meetings ever start.
Everybody has a theory on how this will all break down. We only know one thing for certain – forget everything you have known about scheduling in the SEC. Almost anything can happen.
Dooley’s Dozen breaks down the possibilities.
