Mike Slive
SEC commissioner Mike Slive spoke to the Little Rock Touchdown Club today and was very good.
One interesting thing he stressed was that after next season the football schedule will change again, and he seemed to be interested in a nine-conference game schedule.
He didn’t come out and say it, but that’s the way it seemed. No doubt he is being pressured by ESPN and CBS to get rid of some of the non-conference games that don’t attract advertisers or viewers.
He is in negotiation with both for a new contract now that the SEC footprint includes Texas and Missouri.

I’ve been sick of television dictating every aspect of sports such as starting times and game dates for a long time. We get spoon-fed this crap about tradition, it’s all about the fans, blah, blah, blah and then the fans get jerked around. I wonder if the networks are responsible for so many teams having to wear Power Ranger uniforms. They are hideous. My personal opinion is that the SEC’s continued expansion is another slap at tradition.
Please tell Mike Slive how bad he is making the SEC look by not suspending the Alabama Player who went helmet to helmet with Georgia’s Aaron Murray. Had it been a Georgia player I would say the same thing. It is obvious he is wanting another SEC team to win the National Championship, No 7, but at what cost?
