There are NOT 9 schools ready to vote to go to a 9 SEC game schedule mainly because ESPN/ABC/Disney will not pay us extra for going to 9 SEC games annually.


That’s an excuse. The cowards don’t want to give up their guaranteed win against Delaware State. And Saban didn’t like that his 3 permanents didn’t include Vanderbilt so he led the charge against it, after saying for years he was for a 9 game conference schedule.

They just don’t want to give up the revenue from the extra home games without an offset in the revenue coming from the TV deal. Don’t play into the hands of those who always accuse the SEC of being afraid to play anyone. It all about the $$$.
