Comments on: More Complaints About SEC Hoops Scheduling, But Nothing Can Be Done Now http://mrsec.com/2012/01/more-complaints-about-sec-scheduling/ Up to the minute SEC football and basketball news Sat, 25 May 2013 17:38:44 +0000 hourly 1 By: John at MrSEC http://mrsec.com/2012/01/more-complaints-about-sec-scheduling/comment-page-1/#comment-56398 John at MrSEC Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:16:11 +0000 http://www.mrsec.com/?p=253739#comment-56398 Dynamite fan…

Sure. Must be because I LUUUUUUUUV Florida and Donovan and HAAAAAATE Vandy and Stallings.

I’m so worried that you’ve seen through my obvious pro-Gator, anti-Commodore bias.

It wasn’t him that brought up the UK scheduling advantage to begin with. He was asked to comment on it. Add to that this is a Quote from him. “It’s not Kentucky’s fault,” Stallings said. “They’re going to do what we’re doing; they’re going to play their games when they’re scheduled. So it’s not a Kentucky issue. It’s an issue with the league office, and I understand that television dictates certain things, and that’s fine. But in stead of pointing those facts out it’s easier to call him a whinner. Donovan is saying the same things after being asked to comment on it yet he gets a Big “pass”.

I don’t think that’s true. If every coach in the league squawks about it in Destin, the league will have to respond as best it can. The public won’t have a thing to do with it. Trust me, Mike Slive feels no pressure from the messageboard/talk radio crowd or else Missouri would still be in the Big 12 and the SEC’s officials would be replaced on a weekly basis.

Thanks for reading,

The coaches don’t need to apply pressure via the fans. The coaches — more accurately, the schools — ARE the SEC. Mike Slive works for the presidents and the schools. If the schools demand a fairer schedule, the SEC office has to provide it, if it can.

There’s no need for public suggestions that the league is favoring one school over another. And if the commish was ready to hand out fines to protect the league’s image when it came to coach-on-coach and coach-on-ref barbs, I don’t see how it’s that big of a leap to do the same for coach-on-schedule-makers barbs.

This should’ve been talked about when the schedule came out or it should be discussed when something can be done about it at the SEC Meetings. To talk about it now is bad for business. And as I pointed out in the piece, when it’s done publicly, it also appears to be excuse-making. What message is that sending to the players?

Many thanks for reading the site,

John
