The Governor’s Cup may be in trouble.
Last week in Destin, the leaders of the Southeastern Conference debated the future of its football scheduling, specifically an eight-game or nine-game format once Texas and Oklahoma join the conference. SEC leadership is split on an additional game in league play with Kentucky on the side of keeping conference games at eight, in part to protect the series with Louisville. Unfortunately, our favorite rivalry game could land on the chopping block if the SEC elects to add another in-conference opponent to Kentucky’s schedule.
One advocate to keep the Louisville rivalry intact is former Kentucky linebacker Wesley Woodyard.
