BOL Round Table

"Mike Martin may have announced Friday that he is leaving for Colorado State later this year, but he still has big-ticket items on his agenda as LSU’s chancellor.
One of them is trying to argue LSU’s position in the Southeastern Conference’s soon-to-be announced new 14-team football scheduling format.
While LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva said Saturday that he believes the SEC will stick with permanent opponents from opposite divisions — something LSU has staunchly opposed — Martin said he will make one more attempt to sway his fellow SEC presidents and chancellors this week at the annual Spring Meeting in Destin, Fla.
Alleva said he expects there to be discussion of an SEC TV network as well, which may be part of the deal with ESPN.
“It seems inevitable, but how quickly (an SEC network) will happen, I don’t know,” Alleva said."
