Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock. Still No Word On Meyer

 Send This Story To A Friend

I’m not a conspiracy theorist.  I think the idea that the SEC favors Florida is silly. 

For one, the other 11 equal partners in the league probably wouldn’t stand for that, ya know?

And there’s always that kind of fan backlash against winning teams.  Refs take care of them, the league takes care of them, etc.  “They can’t be that good on their own.”

In NFL terms, I’ve heard it regarding my Patriots.  And I’ve said it about the Colts.  (Of course, the league DID change the interference rules because Bill Polian cried about… wait, there I go again.)

But I don’t really buy that stuff.

That said, a lot of fans DO buy that stuff.  A lot of fans do more than say these types of things, a lot of fans BELIEVE these types of things.

So it doesn’t look good that the commissioner of the SEC has taken nearly 48 hours to comment on or deliver a reprimand to Urban Meyer.

I believe Mike Slive worked himself into a corner with last week’s “tough guy” policy and now he’s having to come up with a fair penalty for someone who didn’t cross the line as much as the three coaches who ticked him off in the first place.

But that doesn’t matter.  The perception — to some fans — is that Slive does not want to punish Meyer at all.

And the longer he takes to deliver some form of punishment, the more conspiracy theorists will begin to buy into the idea that the league is favoring Florida.

So again… we wait.
