SANDESTIN, Fla. -- The Southeastern Conference is considering
tweaking its men's basketball format.</p>

The league is looking at
possibly scrapping its divisions and putting all 12 teams together for
the regular season. It also might keep the divisions and seed the teams
Nos. 1 through 12 for the postseason tournament.</p>

Conference
commissioner Mike Slive says the options will be discussed during the
league's annual spring meetings this week.</p>

Several coaches and
athletic directors questioned the SEC's current format last season. The
Eastern Division dominated the West in 2010, going a combined 27-9
against the West in the regular season, and placed three teams in the
semifinals of the conference tournament. Five of those regular-season
wins came against lowly Georgia.</p>

long time coming...baseball needs to do it as well

At least in basketball you play most of your games within your divison and every team in each divison plays the same schedule. In baseball, you play as many games against the opposite division as you play against your own and the schedules within the divisons aren't any more comparable than the schedules with the teams in the other division. I can at least see an argument for keeping the divisions for basketball, but for baseball it makes no sense at all.

the schedule can be changed...It's time to get rid of the divisions

12 team league with 16 conference games like us, but no divisions. I'm not sure how the schedule is set up other than knowing that Duke and carolina play twice a year every year. This year Duke also played Clemson, BC, Ga Tech and Maryland twice, but only once with traditional rivals Wake, FSU, and State.

they do for scheduling. North schools play each other twice and South schools play each other twice.

Hopefully they keep them. As much as some folks here hate hearing about all of Stansbury's West titles, the divisional lineup benefits our school.
