The Big Ten is proving right before our eyes that they are afraid of playing the SEC. Petitti first claimed that he would love to play the SEC more often during the regular season. Tony Petitti's actions prove that he's afraid of Big Ten schools playing the SECFor years Big Ten coaches, athletic directors and fans complained about the SEC only playing eight conference games each season. The Big Ten played nine conference games each season but didn't require their schools to play a Power Four non-conference team. So instead of listing to the Big Ten's complaints the SEC should've just done their own thing the whole time.
