CLEMSON — At least week’s SEC’s Spring Meetings, the league decided to table whether it will go to a nine-game conference schedule, though it appears it is headed in that direction.
Besides moving to a nine-game schedule, the league also discussed the possibility of adopting a scheduling agreement with the Big Ten, where teams in both conferences will play one another on an annual basis.
However, not everyone is big on either of these moves, especially South Carolina. Though they understand playing a ninth league game and Big Ten team will bring the SEC more money, the Gamecocks are one of four teams who play an in-state rivalry game with a member from the Atlantic Coast Conference.
