The problem I had was, what if Friday is a rain-out (not crazy in the South in May).

I was going to bring this up too. As unpredictable as the weather is around here in the spring, we sometimes struggle to get in 3 games in a weekend.

SEC AD's approved it as well.

@KendallRogers
BREAKING:
@SEC athletic directors have approved a normal baseball season structure for this spring. No change to the conference schedule. ADs also voted to increase the #SEC travel roster from 27 to 30


quote:

Sources told me that the #SEC coaches/athletic directors feel playing midweek games and more non-conference games is better for college baseball as a whole. Makes selection process easier at the end of the season, and gives smaller conference teams a chance to earn RPI points.


quote:

Lastly … I’m told the #SEC league schedule will drop in the next 24-48 hours.

Early on, I was told that if the conference schedule was played as normal (30 games), they would just use the 2020 one. I don’t know if that is still the plan though.

That would make the most sense TBH since conference play didn't start last year.

Ted Cahill of Baseball America announced that the 2020 SEC conference schedule will be the exact same for 2021.

LSU misses Florida and Vandy.

I’d rather go to Tennessee and miss Florida/Vandy.
