      Would love to have seen the discussion over who got the guaranteed UK home game every year.

      If Florida doesn't maintain the program Donovan built Florida may not stay on that list.

      Good point Keith about Florida. Tennessee for tradition sake and Vandy for proximity makes good sense. Should the Gators falter I can see Arkansas or Auburn with Pearl replacing them--if the league chooses this scheduling method for any period of time.

      My thoughts would have certainly been TN then Arkansas followed by FL.
