Title: Assignments: Rival Weekend
Post by: TampaSteve on November 14, 2017, 09:15:36 AM: 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?

it is for power 5 conferences.
