Report: The SEC Is Moving Closer To Conference-Only Schedule For 2020

by Staff Reporter

July 29, 202028 Comments

Ross Dellenger with Sports Illustrated is reporting that the SEC is moving closer to a conference-only schedule for 2020, similar to what other conferences have already announced.

quote:
The SEC is moving closer to an agreement on a conference-only schedule of 10 games, multiple sources told Sports Illustrated. During a virtual meeting on Wednesday, a majority of athletic directors approved the idea of an SEC-only, 10-game schedule. However, the schedule must be ratified by league presidents. SEC presidents are expected to meet virtually Thursday to seriously discuss the matter. It is unclear if they will vote then or delay a decision until next week. The NCAA Board of Governors is scheduled to meet Tuesday in what could be a momentous event for the 2020–21 college athletic season. Officials there could postpone or cancel fall championships, eliminating year-ending championships for sports such as FCS football, volleyball and soccer, or moving those to the spring.

Reports say Tennessee and Missouri added to LSU schedule.

lsuohiofan•45 months

Whatever. I am over it for this year. Too much politics for .01% of any issues whatsoever. This just shows how sheep can be herded!

TriumphTiger•45 months

Bama gets Vandy, KY, Mizzou, and UT. We get UF, UGA, UT, and UK.

HerkFlyer•45 months

Bama already had UGA on the schedule this year. Watch it go away for "logistical reasons" or some such bullshite.

touchdownjeebus•45 months

Gumps definitely have to drop UGA because of covid or something.

tigerterrace•45 months

Bama will have an outbreak the week of the UGA game

JustinT37•45 months

Either play or don’t.

Privateer 2007•45 months

This is just madness. Players are at statistically zero risk. Play the damn games.

Tigers4Lyfe•45 months

But then again the players don't and won't away from others so your point is moot.

LSUTigers00884•45 months

This makes no sense at all. I wish the commissioners (and politicians) would grow a backbone. By this logic, covid is worse in Austin, TX than it is in College Station. Wtf? You aren't getting safer by eliminating out of conference games. Makes no sense at all. Literally 0 logic.

Tigers4Lyfe•45 months

Even if it's one less game it's safer. How can you not understand that?

monstranceclock76•45 months

I agree. Play them all or don't play at all.

LSUTigers00884•45 months

@Tigers4Lyfe, by that logic, you should cancel all games. If one less game is safer, all less games is even more safer. So for the sake of safety, let’s cancel football games! Matter of fact, we shouldn’t go to the grocery store, restaurants, gas stations, churches, or workplace. Since it’s safer to not have exposure to other people at these. But let me guess, you still do many of those activities don’t you?

I want Texas at home, damn it!

AustinKnight•45 months

I really wish they would push that game a year or two so they know what Tiger Stadium and tailgating is all about.

Le Tenia•45 months

To hell with pushing it, let's play it this year!

DeafVallyBatnR•45 months

They are almost forced into this. The other conference's are doing it so SEC is doing it by default. The only problem is who does LSU add to schedule for 9 games. Cause you know the other conference's play 9 and they will bitch all year if SEC doesn't play 9.

CanebreakCajun•45 months

I bet they send us to the shite hole Mizzou.

Shotgun Willie•45 months

Why not 12 games??

evanstontiger•45 months

Too much of a grind to play 12 conference games. Florida would have to play almost the entire sec west. Alabama might have to play florida and georgia for the first time in a long time. Nick is trying to get coastal carolina added to the sec for onecyear only so he still gets to stack another uncompetitive win.

lsutigersFTW•45 months

Smart, seeing as you can only get Covid through playing nonconference games

Celery•45 months

I can’t follow the logic

Tigers4Lyfe•45 months

You really aren't bright are you?

wileyjones•45 months

Lol how silly

AustinKnight•45 months

Forget all that NCAA board of governors canceling championships. If they do in fact try doing that I say the SEC, ACC, BIg 12, BIg 10 Pac 12 formulate a 6 team playoff inviting one At Large team if they qualify or the highest ranked major conference non champion team and make a championship happen.

FreeNeck18•45 months

NCAA doesn't control FBS championship. It's why article said it could shut down FCS championship which they cover.

austintexastiger•45 months

just rearranging chairs on the Titanic

evanstontiger•45 months

This would be awesome! Decent competitive game every week.
