It is my understanding that the SEC asks schools not to release schedules until they release the conference schedule in june/July. Florida decides not to comply with that request. Some others don’t as well but are still waiting to finalize their OOC schedules. Bottom line: the others will start trickling out next month. I can’t find any corroboration of this info. Hep me. Do conferences generally give guidelines on schedule releases? Just passing on our marching orders and the obvious delay from other conference schools. Not throwing shade ... just what I’ve been told to keep under raps

Maybe because they weren’t ready with their sched, but none of the SEC people I know can confirm this info.

I’ve worn orange and blue longer than any poster on this thread but ..... I don’t mind being called a homer. I wear that as a badge of honor. Lol. But seriously I am really trying to get a confirmation on this and no one can do so. Why would the SEC ask teams to hold up on their schedule release? Doesn’t make sense. Creates excitement for the one(s) released and anticipation for the ones not yet released. To quote the Great Judge Judith Sheindlin, If it doesn’t make any sense, it probably isn’t true. 😉

My understanding is the SEC schedule is set except for potential matches on TV other than SEC network this the delay
Once completely finalized you will see the level of rush you typically see by the teams in regard to VB

The conference may ask for schools to wait until the final details of the conference slate are a little more firm but each school can (in a sense) do as they wish in terms of the schedule release. Some choose to release once their match ups are set. Some release once start times and media information is confirmed. Hell, some release it as the information comes in. I've never seen it happen in the SEC but others have released schedules that only have pre-conference tournaments and add the conference schedule later. It makes more sense to release it as soon as possible in reference to season ticket purchase and renewal. While it may not necessarily have a major effect on UF season ticket sales, it's difficult to convince people to buy them without knowing who they play and when.
All in all, schools can do as they please, most likely without reproach, and it makes sense to release sooner than later. And I seriously doubt that any SEC team will wait until July to make that information available.

However some schools do wait until July... doubt it or not. And plenty release in late June.

I had a conversation with two different SEC coaches regarding schedules about a year ago and I doubt anything has changed to make what they shared with me obsolete today. The conversation was about overall scheduling, but the topic of schedule release was covered and below is what I was told.
The SEC does not dictate when a team may publish their schedule. The school/team may publish the schedule as soon as the SEC releases the finalized conference schedule. This finalized conference schedule includes opponents and dates, but there may be some game times for a particular date that are TBD because it might be internally tagged for SEC Network, ESPN2 or ESPNU, and start times would be based on programming slot times. That is why you may see on a schedule a match date with a time of TBD. Once the TV schedules are finalized those times then would be updated.
One coach said the biggest reason some teams are late in posting their schedule is because the coach is still finalizing their OOC (out of conference) schedule. Some coaches may have tournaments, and individual games that are on the table or penciled in at certain dates that are not yet fully committed or still being finalized, and so they may still be actively seeking either better competition, easier competition for a W, or teams with better RPI potential, etc.. depending on what they feel they need to accomplish in the pre-season/OOC schedule to make the overall season successful. The top four or five teams usually have the easiest time putting together a quality OOC schedule because they get many calls for tournaments and individual games from other top teams in P5 conferences or top mid-majors and they don't have to worry about finding good RPI competition. (Florida's is out and I bet Kentucky's is completed and will be out soon)
I am sure there are other reasons such as internal processes that could cause some other time delays as well.
