re: Greg Sankey releases statement following meeting with SEC athletic directors

Here’s the thing Sankey doesn’t seem to get. If all of the other conferences go to conference-only games, it doesn’t matter what the SEC decides to do. By default, they have to go to conference-only games too for the simple reason everyone else already has. There would be no choice.

The other conferences are getting ahead of it, therefore dictating what the SEC will be forced to do. If they wait until the end of July to make a decision, but everyone else has already made theirs, then by default the SEC’s decision will be made for them. They will have no other non-conference games to play because they have all decided not to play them.
