For those complaining about the SEC refs....

Would the SEC take notice if UK fans stayed home for the SECT...?

Cat fans make up probably 70% of the attendance.....

Officiating in college basketball is making the game nearly unwatchable at times.

Taking Carr completely out of the game after he was being effective sure looked strange. Refs probably got a text from Higgins before the game saying “Don’t you forget about me, I’ll be alone, dancing you know it baby.”

2 horribly called games with no consistency. What they don’t call is horrible , way too much contact , way too much bodies banging into bodies .and no call . They let the games get out of hand . Then call the slightest bump . The amount of leaning on and reaching in on ball handlers was insane . It’s a game of hold and grab .. and Sears is allowed to carry the ball on nearly every possession.. just call the game as the rules are written .. and do something to stop the offensive player from kicking / shouldering / elbowing his way to the rim .. bring back more teams willing to take a charge and stress calling it . Do something g to stop guys like Theiro from ark as he goes plowing into people for example , Oweh does it a lot to .clean the game up

No. They quite literally do not care per a conversation I had with a gentleman who works in the SEC offices.

No. They have already been paid via TV contracts and sponsors. They wouldn't even care if UK left the conference. The only people who do care are the business men and women of the city where the games are played. They care, but they don't really matter to the SEC either.

They don't care because uk fans no longer are the sole driver. As someone that goes every year, ut brings as many fans as uk and maybe more. Bama brings a good crowd and Arkansas (if good) does too.

That's just for the games. Thousands upon thousands are here every weekend to drink and party. So bars and hotels will be packed regardless.

Before, every Broadway bar catered to uk fans. Now its tin roof and maybe two others. That's because when uk lost and fans left, it made an impact.

Uk fans no longer dominate the economy. In fact we no longer even move the needle.
