VSL Poll: Should the SEC Do Away with Divisions in Basketball?

This will be discussed at half time of the Kentucky/Mississippi State game. What do you think:




We asked the question around this time last season, the results were 33% "yes," 66% "no" (36 votes cast)

About the game, that call was crap. I don't know many shots that are directed towards your teammates.

The question needs rephrasing - realistically we'd keep the divisions for scheduling purposes but eliminate them for tournament seeding.

Basically, Big 12 format vs. current SEC format. Evidently they voted on this in Destin last year - SEC West coaches blocked.

it baffles me that people vote no to this. how on earth could anyone think that is a good idea?

I don't know either. Every other relevant conference that's tried them -- the ACC, Big 12, Big East, C-USA -- has gone back to one division. The closest things to other major conferences still using divisions for basketball are the Sun Belt and SoCon.

It's also worth noting the conference doesn't use 2 divisions for women's basketball. At least pick one way or the other, SEC.

That’s where I don’t get it. Why the SEC women don’t use divisional play but the men do. If we do it like the Big 12 and keep our divisional opponents (KY, UT, UGA, USC, and UF) to play twice a year, Vandy should see no repercussions from moving the East and West into one division. I think it will happen soon too. Look at the West and think if Alabama wasn’t having a good season… the division would be a joke. Miss St. is the only school that is (remotely) competitive year in and year out. I just don’t think schools like Ole Miss and Auburn will ever be top tier programs because their administrations push football way harder than basketball. Anyway, go to one division SEC.
