It’s time for Sankey to step down

He set the SEC up in a poor position with the 9 game conference schedule during an era where strength of schedule is meaningless. He’s pissed off the majority of coaches in the process.
To combat that, he tries to act tough on the guys coming back to college football, and throws out some major threats. He now has a legal disaster on his hands and is going to get emasculated by multiple players / schools on this issue.
I dont know how anyone has any confidence in him at this point.

If he loses this threat, he’ll step down or resign soon.
Universities will see he threatens you and your standing in the conference if you don’t play by his rules.

Definitely dumb.

Do people think he acted unilaterally?

Also gave SEC media rights to one company, where the smart move would have been to divide it up among any number of partners and end up with a bigger money pile. Big X really made Sankey look dumb.

Yeah Sankey sucks, but putting his foot down on this,
quote:is the absolute right move. College athletics is withering away in front of our eyes and something needs to change. I don’t even mind NIL because being a college athlete is a hard thing to do and consumes much of their lives, but man, guys coming back after NFL camps and NBA rookies league…that’s insanity.

The new rules wouldn't outlaw this. By "rookie league", I'm assuming you mean Summer League.

quote:Correct. My sincere apologies. I don’t care enough about the NBA to know better. And the “new rules” suck. Not much we can do about it, though. It’s where we are, and as much as I long for the golden days of college athletics they are gone. I also appreciate you asking a clarifying question and not going straight to being “scared,” “jealous,” or any of the tropes that have been tossed at people simply wanting common sense to prevail. Respect.

Like I said, it is time for these kids that cannot make it in the NFL to start their new career. Insurance sales has a lot of former athletes.

No worries. Honestly though, what's the difference in pro and college athletes these days?

Since money got involved, not much. I’m 49, but for me it was that college athletes were amateurs and the ultimate goal was professional sports. Now we have guys that get there and can’t cut it, and they just go back to college like nothing ever happened. I hate where we’re at, but here we are. And I do appreciate the respectful discourse.

I think ultimately, none of us like this. I don't know what can really happen though. So much of college football is based on tradition and isn't really based on law, so as soon as folks started going to courts to get around the NCAA, it started us down this slippery slope.
