DEVELOPING: NPSL Commissioner Responds To Pensacola City Situation (Kinda)

((HT: Michael Hitchock's Twitter))

Although not to direct question, the Commissioner of the NPSL has responded in a series of Tweets to the situation in Pensacola

Dear @NPSLSoccer fans: No one is more frustrated with the PCFC situation than me. With all the positive momentum for the NPSL right now 1/2

The owner of PCFC has let down the NPSL, the South East members & most importantly his players. We are getting all the info & addressing 2/2

The @NPSLSoccer is a not-for-profit corporation whose mission it to grow the sport of soccer in US in a sustainable way. Run by the members.

Consistent with the NPSL structure & philosophy, South East conference members will work together with NPSL on PCFC issue. Thx for support!

1/2 Official Statement: @NPSLSoccer is extremely disappointed to hear that Pensacola City FC has decided to cease operations immediately...

2/2 Statement: League remains committed to the Pensacola soccer community and looks forward to working with fans & supporters in the future.


OSG Sports has asked the Commissioner about the 7 games on the schedule that PCFC were to play and how the schedule is reconfigured...

And, in an amazingly similar to Tweet number 4 above, he replied:

South East Conference members are working with NPSL on PCFC issue. Consistent with NPSL structure

More when we know more... and, maybe, more details...

SEC to spit out schedule for the next 12-years

((ht: cbssports.com/mcmurphy))

SEC fans, you may commence with the planning of your football travel schedules for the next decade plus.

According to a report by CBSSports.com's Brett McMurphy, the league will announce at their annual spring meetings in Destin, Florida this week a new plan to try and accommodate the league's two newest members, Missouri and Texas A&M.

The plan supposedly will go like this:

Each team will play 6-games within their own division. They can keep one cross divisional rivalry such as Georgia/Auburn. And each team will play one game against a team in the other division. That game will rotate each year.

Got it?

The story from CBSSports.com RIGHT HERE

Pretty simple...ain't it? Amidst all the hoopla and concern over scheduling, College Football's top conference managed to keep most of their traditional rivalries intact and they hope have created some new ones.

If you are hearing a rather loud "Sigh" of relief from pretty much all the East schools, you are not alone. It all but eliminates the possibility of having to face both Alabama and LSU in the same season for most of the league.
