Spring meetings heat up as the SEC Squad dissects the end of “cupcake weekend” and whether Greg Sankey and SEC athletic directors are compromising tradition. Fierce debates erupt on the merits of nine-game conference schedules, playoff expansion, and the grind of SEC football compared to the Big Ten’s approach.
