re: Scheduling is old news but Chris Low nailed it

What is funny to me is that the SEC has a rule in place (called the alma mater rule) which prohibits referees from officiating a game involving their alma mater. In effect, the SEC admits that the possibility of bias exists. Yet, when it comes to schedules, which have a huge impact on a teams title chances each year, an Alabama alum and Tuscaloosa native was allowed to oversee the process and rubber stamp schedules that seriously favor his alma mater and hurt their chief competition.

Alabama fans can say what they want, but the people of Louisiana know a thing or two about corruption (Huey P, Edwin Edwards, et al), and sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade.
