Ouch! My blood runs orange, but I know the reality of SEC football. It's kinda like EDIG and that "P" company, some days you just have to scratch you head and wonder / speculate on what happened. Big time programs are rarely down very long -- see OK and Bama for examples. It's been ten years since our last national championship, so we need to get on the stick.
I think you are right about an 8K being needed, but I'm not as certain as you. Even if we get an 8K, do they have to tell us the dollars and the "who?" Again, I think not, but I'm not an expert on "other SEC" regs....heck, I'm not sure anyone at that other SEC know the regs.
