MIRAMAR BEACH – The SEC’s schedule debate is over—at least for now.
At their annual spring meetings within the Hilton Sandestin, league administrators agreed to continue playing eight conference games when Texas and Oklahoma arrive in 2024, eschewing a nine-game format in a move that is likely to draw criticism from the rest of the college football world.
In a debate that has raged for more than a year, officials finally agreed to a compromise. They will remain at eight games in what many refer to as a temporary or short-term model with a pathway to an eventual move to a nine-game format, something that SI reported earlier this week.
