re: Does everyone now understand why Bonnette and Miles are against permanents?

Have each program determine who they "must" play each year. These programs that are holding everybody else hostage must make a choice whether those rivalries are worth the choice of having them all in one division:

LSU
MSU
OLE MISS
ARKANSAS
A&M
MIZZOU
USCe

ALA
AUBURN
TENN
GEORGIA
FLORIDA
VANDY
KENTUCKY

The choice is either these divisions or give up the "must have" rivalries. Remember the old way of handling a situation where you have to divide two piles into equal parts. You ask the two parties whether they'd like to separate the two piles equally or pick the pile they want.

Ask the parties whether they want to keep their old rivalries or pick the divisions...and they can't have both.

I know...I'm a dreaming.
