Each of the 12 SEC schools àfour each year àwill play one challenge game.No matchups or sites have been decided, SEC spokesman DeWayne Peevy said. No decision has been made on when each SEC team will participate, he said.Peevy noted that the Big East must also decide which 12 of its 16 teams will participate.Midweek dates for the challenge are Dec. 5-6, 2007, Dec. 10-11, 2008, and Dec. 9-10, 2009.Of the two neutral sites for the double-headers each year, one will be in the SEC area and one in the Big East area.All games will be televised on ESPN or ESPN2.http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/14818320.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, depending on how USF turns around in '06-'07 could change things but, I'm just assuming the turn-around is more gradual than radical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ari_Hinkelberger Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Gradual?HOw about we haven't made the tournament in 15 years. You call that gradual.Get ready for another sub-average year of maybe 3-13 in the conference.WOO HOOO.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
