Slive was in town recently to address (questions about reffing were discouraged) a civic group. Throughout the SEC's executive offices, the man is a rock star. Every year for the next 15 years, each SEC school will recieve $17.5 million in TV contract money. Every SEC school will have its football and basketball (and many women's programs) games on the tube and internet. The SEC is on the cutting edge of internet availability and other media. Money is rolling in and who really cares if reffing ends up determining the results of games as long as the SEC can dominate Nielson ratings on December 5. DI football is big business and Slive's job is to make sure that SEC football is the Exxon of the NCAA. As long as big money is driving the bus, you'll hear complaints from the coaches in the back of the bus but not a word from the administrations. They don't want to make Slive mad at them.
