There is no logical reason to schedule Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, LSU when we could try to get games with Virginia Tech, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Arizona State. I know we do it for the payday but I’d love to stay away from the SEC money games until we prove ourselves a little more

Fiscal 'sponsbilty!

It's easy to blame the Smartest AD in the History of Brain for every questionable decision, but this one comes from Chancellor Finis St. John IV (who is paid $1.1 million per year, despite having zero qualifications for the post). He stated this outright during The Return. We must play one buy game against the SEC every year (the original demand was for two such games). The SEC, but not bammer or Auburn.

This part wasn't stated openly, but I'm fairly sure that our $1.1mill zero-qualifications Chancellor would overrule scheduling SEC teams that he thinks we might defeat (Vanderbilt).

Ingram does not have the authority to schedule as y'all are suggesting.

Hey Goodman, why don’t you read this and ask some hard questions to somebody about this situation? If our AD doesn’t have control of the schedule, who does?
