College Basketball: It’s been rumored in the works for a couple of months, but ESPN reports the SEC-Big East Challenge is being replaced next season by the SEC-Big 12 challenge. The Big East will be losing several teams in the next couple of years and the SEC says it does not want to play the remaining members. ESPN also reports the games will be home and home, much like the current ACC-Big 10 Challenge series.
