Assignments: Rival Weekend

[TampaSteve]

if i'm not mistaken in year's past for thanksgiving weekend the ACC & SEC will flip home crews when the two are playing.

i.e. if UGa is home v GaTech the ACC will work the game; likewise, if Ky is at Lou the SEC would work it.

anyone know whether this still going on with these two conferences for thanksgiving weekend?

[Rulesman]

Without any direct knowledge, that has been the custom.

Isn’t that pretty typical for out of conference games throughout the season?

it is for power 5 conferences.

Right.  Typically, a group-of-5 conference officiating crew will go to the Power 5 conference school probably 30% of the time.  Otherwise, it's officiated by the Power 5 conference.

To clarify, the SEC, for example, will send a crew to work Ga at Ga Tech. Another Power 5 conference (e.g. Big 12) is not involved.
