I am not saying that the Pac-12 is a better conference historically than the SEC, and I …
from Video The Tennessee Volunteers come to town for a return matchup, as Tennessee is one of the few SEC teams that honors its scheduling contracts.

He gets to spend the next couple of weeks going over police reports and seeing if he can still keep these players on the Alabama payroll for another season.
