SEC's Spring Meetings: The Future of College Sports Is in the Balance at Florida Resort

The Southeastern Conference held its annual spring meetings this week at a seaside resort in Florida featuring school presidents, athletic directors, and coaches discussing college sports' future.
The discussions focused on the College Football Playoff expansion and SEC scheduling amid a multibillion-dollar lawsuit settlement influencing college athletics broadly.
Key topics included whether the CFP expands from 12 to 14 or 16 teams, SEC's possible addition of a ninth league game, and the Power Four conferences' formation of a new governing entity.
Texas A&M coach Mike Elko expressed difficulty in planning for the football camp scheduled for July 30th, due to ongoing uncertainties about how the preparations will ultimately unfold.
The outcomes include potential CFP format changes, increased Power Four autonomy over finances and rules, and risks of division between the SEC, Big Ten, and other conferences affecting college football's future.
