Each time conference realignment comes up (on radio) someone always makes the point that the players deserve to play every team in their four year career. They make this a major point of contention. The same point about a nine game schedule ~ it would let every player play every conference team in his career. I wonder? Does a player think it is a big deal because he didn't get to play Vanderbilt? Or Ole Miss? Does a player at Arkansas feel cheated because he didn't get to play Kentucky? Does a player at Florida feel cheated because he didn't get to play Alabama?
I am trying to put myself in a players mindset. I came to ___________ because:
1. The money
2. I can get to the NFL from here.
3. I feel at home here. This is the best fit for me.
4. I can play right away.
....... I get to play every team in the conference before I graduate.
I just can't see how that is such a big deal as some people make out. "I came to Alabama so I can play Georgia once every four years. I came to Tennessee so I can play Miss St once every four years." Really?
What do you think?
