Things are heating up in the SEC as reports emerged Friday that football coaches aren’t happy with how the conference has handled schedule changes amid the pandemic. Tensions erupted Thursday when several coaches lashed out at SEC officials during a call over their explanation of how the two cross-divisional games were picked, ESPN reported. Last week, officials announced the two additional games, although they did not say how those opponents were picked. "We made every effort to create a schedule that is as competitive as possible and builds on the existing eight Conference games that had already been scheduled for 2020," he said, according to CBS Sports. "This schedule is a one-year anomaly that we have developed under unique circumstances presented by the impact of COVID-19."
