He seems oblivious to what the other conferences are doing around the SEC putting all sec teams at a huge disadvantage when it comes to scheduling

Dude half the field makes the playoff now and that number is going to grow. If you are on the bubble and don't get in that is on you

Sankey can't help that outside of the SEC and a few top programs in the ACC and Big 10, the majority of college football is dog shite.

Sankey sucks and needs to go. Huge dropoff from Slive.

I hate the Big 10, but 3 straight titles from 3 different teams in the playoff era says they don't suck

By moving to 9 conference games, he spinkled rose petals on the B1G's ability to top load the playoffs. That's 8 more losses for SEC teams. It was a stupid, stupid move. He needs to go.

Maybe you aren't smart to think Sankey is over his head?

Sankey's moment to shine was the media contarct. He had the best product in college sports by a wide margin and he failed miserably. Needs to go.

This to me is the main complaint, in addition to a number of others on the policy front. A 9-game schedule is more a fair debate as to what his charge is: excellent in-conference product and the highest-value content for the media, or jury-rigging our conference teams’ ability to make the playoff

He had a good run. Things were rolling. Other conferences have caught up with the Big winning 3 in a row. I've never cared for him so wouldn't mind seeing him go ( but I personally like going to 9 SEC games just for the competition and less cupcakes on the schedule.

Sankey isn't unilaterally making decisions. He has to get approval from the members.

9 game conf schedule also gave ABC/ESPN improved content. Conference got nothing for this either.

bullshite. He can't deliver or close a deal. He is the one that should be advocating for the conference and he even fails at that. He has failed at negotiating and communicating. He has proven himself as a minnow in a tank of sharks.

In a war, you need a champion warrior but he is just a fig waving a sword around.

Ridiculous take. He controls the agenda and he controls the information.
