    With the addition of Missouri and Texas A&M, the Southeastern Conference is tweaking its football and basketball schedules.

    Football coaches are having a tougher time deciding on what changes to make than their basketball counterparts.

    "The consensus is that there's not the right answer right now that suits everyone," Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said.
