Manipulation?

Fer fuck sake.  If there's not a rule saying you have to play 9, then what are you bitching about? 
Nobody said it was illegal.  It's absolutely something the SEC has done, and it's worked well.  Why are you such a sandy vagina about it?

I'm not.  Big Tenners are.  Ask them why THEY'RE such a sandy vagina about it.

doesn't need to be a rule to make it the right thing to do
What makes it the right thing to do?  Besides "because."

Because ..............

 the fans might appreciate a real contest

the players might appreciate some real competition

the networks would pay more for real content

the greedy programs would like more $$$ from the networks

I suspect most of us here would favor a 9 game conference slate, I would, SO LONG AS folks retained some decent OOC matches as well.  The B1G mostly has done this.

The SEC often schedules three pastries, because they can.  They might still do that.

The key, for me, is to play 10 decent opponents out of 12 each season.

I never honestly gave it much real thought until I saw all the hub-bub about it on this board.  I just accepted that this is the way the SEC operates, very successfully I might add.  Maybe the conference that has won like 90% of the national titles this decade knows a thing or two about scheduling?  I honestly never cared.  I don't even mind going to the late season "gimmie" games, because the crowds are light and the tickets cheap.

Teams should refer to UNC and ND for scheduling advice.

https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/entertainment/dining/2024/10/01/5-restaurants-compete-to-be-named-best-breaded-pork-tenderloin-in-iowa/75386162007/?fbclid=IwY2xjawFuHiNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHeHCP1mIEKPjh_eNfJckLaMZJI06WjUCXhKqIe-2pBXglUrU6cfLmV0SXQ_aem_Rh3C_qEffjhzNhc2LB5Usw

Iowa is about to find out who has the best breaded pork tenderloin in the state, and this time around, two restaurants from the same town made the finals.

The Iowa Pork Producers Association just released five finalists for the annual award. This 22-year tradition took representatives from the pork producers across the state on a quest for the best breaded pork tenderloin, a variation on the schnitzel that's served on a bun and has become the unofficial sandwich of Iowa.


This year, five restaurants across the state compete for the title.

Bronson Bar — Bronson
Dairy Sweet — Dunlap
Ruby’s Pub & Grill — Stuart
The Blind Pig — Monticello
The Market at the Tap — Monticello
