The Southeastern Conference will play eight league games in 2024 when it expands to 16 teams with the additions of Oklahoma and Texas, but beyond that the schedule model is to be determined. Commissioner Greg Sankey says the conference’s presidents voted to implement a short-term solution to a scheduling conundrum that has been debated for more than a year. The SEC has been holding its spring meetings on the Florida Gulf Coast this week. Conference leaders have been trying to decide between a nine-game conference schedule that would include three annual rivalry games and an eight-game model with one annual rivalry game.
Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte says the Longhorns prefer playing a nine-game league schedule when they join the Southeastern Conference in 2024. That might have to wait. The SEC remained undecided on increasing the number of conference games it plays from eight to nine, with some athletic directors saying they would like more time and information. Commissioner Greg Sankey says that among the options being discussed is a short-term agreement to stay at eight, with a commitment to reconsider the model in the next year or so.
