Nine Big Questions Face SEC as Meeting Opens
Nine major issues head the agenda as the Southeastern Conference begins a three day session in Biloxi. Key topic is whether to scrap the one year old bowl bid rule requiring 75 percent league wins, with LSU already given a quick ok for a Sugar Bowl bid despite under 75 percent. Mississippi and Georgia favor the change as they seek consideration of a team’s full season record for bowl eligibility. Mississippi also pushes rotating football schedules, which would pit teams in two consecutive years before rotating. If Miami joins the league, the rotation plan would be altered significantly.
