re: Lincoln Riley departure sign of a bigger problem

Sankey is the worst commish of the SEC ever. He is only looking at what ESPN offers in terms of short term money and has no care about the long term effects.

The SEC is cashing out.

Kind of agree. Just seems like this cash bubble is bound to burst at some point and he's not looking at the big picture as far as the health of the sport is concerned. Our conference was already, by far, the strongest conference in America. There was no need to add two more power programs just for more money when the byproduct makes it that much harder for our conference members to be successful on the national stage compared to programs for other conferences. There should be some semblance of balance among the P5 conferences and not have half or more of the good teams all beating up on each other while the good programs in other conferences coast through their seasons. And Riley is doing what I'm sure a lot of other good head coaches are thinking....why come to the SEC when they can win and get paid elsewhere without going through the meat grinder every year
