guessing the USC president is right, and maybe let the cat out of the bag too soon.

he went into detail, going as far as to say that the SEC will reimburse schools for broken contracts.

Slive, on the other hand, was speaking quickly and could have either chosen not to reveal that, or misspoke.

yeah, that was my thought as well. I'm all for 9 games if the rivalry games have to be preserved. As has been pointed out numerous times, playing a fellow conference school 2 out of every 12 years is just ridiculous.

If the SEC goes to a 9 game schedule, they're going to want to get more money out of CBS and ESPN because they will be replacing crappy non-conference games with more attractive conference games. So, I suspect that they will want to publicly take the position that they are playing 8 until they work a deal with the TV folks to go to 9.
