Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger break down all the latest developments happening right now at this year’s SEC meetings.

The SEC is facing a big proposal of adding another in-conference game to each team’s schedule, which would shift the dynamics of the conference. The newly proposed 9-team format is controversial due to the permanent games each team will have. The shifting of program strength has coaches like Nick Saban disgruntled over the strength of schedule. Additionally, the weight of another SEC game could favor a 3-loss team making the playoff in the future if the three losses are close and respectable.

Other topics discussed during the SEC meetings included new NIL sanctions, the sports gambling industry & increased payment for an additional in-conference matchup.

Next, the guys chat about more information coming out surrounding the gambling scandal stemming from a bettor placing a large wager on an Alabama-LSU baseball.

A new study has ranked the laziest states in America so the podcast places their votes for which one is top-dog. The SEC states’ high representation in the rankings is off-putting given the fans’ elevated rate of shenanigans in the offseason.

A University of Oregon golfer suffered a very strange injury during the college championships and had to be removed from the tournament after stepping on a tee.

The Big 12 is also conducting their annual meeting this week with a feverish desire to expand. Their options are being narrowed down to a group of Pac-12 schools and a group of basketball powerhouses.
