Ole Miss athletics director Pete Boone said the meeting with his contemporaries in Birmingham Wednesday was to discuss scheduling concepts for football but also for basketball and other sports.

He stressed the word “concepts” and said no final actions were taken.

Boone said he envisions possible movement on the 2012 Ole Miss football schedule but doesn't believe any contracts will be broken.

“The goal would be to minimize the movement. I'm not sure who might be involved, but I think we can do it with a minimum,” he said.

It's possible, though, that a nine-game SEC schedule, if that's what evolves, could affect contracts for future non-conference games with Texas, Clemson and others.

“I do think depending on whether we stay at an eight-game SEC schedule or go to nine, if it's eight, maybe we do what we do with Texas and Clemson and some others. If it's nine, maybe we don't do that. We have eight tough SEC games now,” Boone said.

I can't see Ole Miss being kicked out of the SEC because of two bad seasons. I can agree that the Rebels do march better to Dixie. Instead we have to march to the tunes of Boone and Jones. If either cared anything about Ole Miss they would pack their bags and march out of Oxford. It's sad we lost our traditions because of these two.

Ole Miss was going great in the SEC and on national Fame until they stopped'Whistling Dixie', then the band started whistling another tune and the REBS could not march to that tune.

The SEC is secretly meeting to kick out the 2 Misissippi schools and replace them with Mizzu and A & M. When they are rid of us, then they will get Texas, OKlahoma to take our place. MSU on UM get shuffled to the Big East.
