I’ll get DV’d into oblivion for this, but I’m not getting that this has anything to do with DJT. It sounds like he’s being diplomatic about not attempting to one-up other conferences. And really, as far as the acquisitions go, the SEC definitely got the better deal in regards to the teams acquired. I just don’t see how the commissioner of the SEC would want to bring politics into realignment discussions. Especially political views that surely wouldn’t resonate with ~90% of his viewership. Am I missing it?

If I’ve learned anything since Trump took office, it’s that numerous successful leaders of large organizations have somehow lost all abilities to be neutral and instead want to voluntarily cater to a vocal minority on the echo chamber that is Twitter. Even when no one is asking them to do it. It’s baffling to see but it keeps happening again and again. I could easily see Sankey falling in to that.
