John Cohen’s answer started with a question.
As the SEC moves to 16 members next year, it’s vital that it moves quickly to figure out how it will model its football scheduling model, both on paper and in Cohen’s opinion. The conference is reportedly focused on dissolving its current two-division format to make way for a one-division league with Texas and Oklahoma officially becoming SEC members in 2024.
“You have to be fair to these non-conference opponents, and you have to be fair to your own fan base, and you have a budget to run. So all those things kind of come together for you to be a little anxious about what’s next.” I will tell you, and I mean this, I think there's a lot of merit to both. I think there's a merit to an eight-game schedule, and I think there's a merit to a nine-game. If you look at the eight-game schedule, it's served the SEC pretty well. It's served Auburn pretty well. You look at the last dozen years, Auburn has won a National Championship, has played for a National Championship under an eight-game format.
What do you gain? What do you lose? That part, I don't know. Here's what I do know: I do know that our fans are gonna love seeing the Oklahoma Sooners run into Jordan-Hare. They're gonna love seeing the Texas Longhorns run in there. And then, on the other side of the coin, they're gonna love seeing the Florida Gators come in there more often.
“We have so many needs, and you know, we got an expert right in here with John Cohen,” Thompson told the Opelika-Auburn News. “I want to give Allen Greene credit. He walked through this with me to get to this point, but we do have an expert that just got here who, arguably, I think, just built the best facility in college baseball.”
Auburn’s upgrades will also be bed rocked in the fan experience. They’ll add a three-story club along the first base line with “enhanced premium seating, club space, concessions, and improved accessibility for the south entrance to Plainsman Park and Right Field Terrace,” according to the Auburn University’s Board of Trustees.
