Actions made this week in Destin at the SEC Spring Meetings could ultimately lead to the end of the Battle for the Governor’s Cup. The annual rivalry game played between Kentucky and Louisville since 1994 is in jeopardy as the SEC seeks to change its football scheduling format.
Proposed Rule Change
Wednesday night we learned Kentucky is leading a coalition to keep the 8-conference game schedule model. The Power Five is currently split on playing either eight or nine conference games annually. Mitch Barnhart is comparing to Power Five competition to convince others to remain at eight SEC games, leaving season-ending rivalry with Louisville intact.
