By avoiding both the halftime and post game interviews, Sarkisian is clearly not upholding the conference-wide agreed upon contractual obligations of a head coach. He could jeopardize the monetary value of the contract with ESPN, thus impacting and endangering every other member institution.

His childish, petty behavior MUST be dealt with swiftly and harshly to send a clear message to other head coaches. You WILL follow the rules, or else.

Emperor Sankey needs to act now with his newly found balls to REMOVE Texas from the SEC.

It is the only way to restore order.

Congrats on finally getting one win for your program. 0-6 against Ohio St and Georgia would have been hard to swallow. Too bad your coach is ruining college football with his pro player and not living up to his obligations for the good of the conference.

Sankey needs to act now to avoid any sentiment of being feckless or spineless.

If he doesn't, this kind of behavior could easily spread to other coaches. There needs to be a lawsuit.

Lack of institutional control at UT-Austin.

the way he blew Holly off for the post game was straight up rude. For the one second we saw her face you could tell Holly wasn't amused by that.

It's a guarantee that Sankey will be getting a call from ESPN execs. shite flows downhill. Sarkisian about to the learn the full might of the fear-inspiring SEC commissioner.

Total and complete lack of control of a head coach relying on a TRO and preliminary injunction to roster a professional athlete. For him to display such arrogance and hubris for someone who has merely accomplished a regular season win is astonishing and disgusting. He hasn't even won a national championship.

There should certainly be a conference vote on whether to suspend Sark. I expect an announcement from Sankey's office on Monday.

The lack of any public response by either the president or AD fully condemning such behavior is TELLING.

LOIC if I've ever seen it. So sad that such a prestigious program would condone such behavior.

Don't worry, after UTa's trip to Baton Rouge he'll relapse and drink himself into a coma.

He won't be anybody's problem after that.

So much wishful thinking and hopium injecting in this thread, wow

Since when have any of you ever been concerned about a 30 second, totally worthless on field coach interview?

Btw, ESPN said Sark apologized, but they admitted they were the ones that needed to apologize because of technical issues on the field. Sark did wait for the halftime interview but they took too long to find Day, then spent too much time with him when they finally did. Is Sark (or any coach) supposed to give up valuable time addressing the team and making halftime adjustments just to appease network talking heads?

So much pearl clutching over Lane Kiffin's halftime joke last week, and the sarcastic point goes right over your head.

I'm hearing a minimum 4 game suspension for Sark, 3 year postseason ban, and loss of 33% revenue from sources close to the situation. ESPN and the SEC are PISSED. This is serious, yall. Super serious.

If your rant is real and not satire, before becoming this delusional again, I suggest that you have a deep conversation with aggy. It pisses them off, but aggy understands that Sankey loves Sark, CDC, Bevo, Texas’ big money matchups, and everything else about the Longhorns.

Y’all actually have a solid team and good coach this year. No need to worry about Longhorn things that you cannot change…

One thing. ESPN, and every network doing live sports, has giant semi trucks with production facilities. They have an ability to record and playback things. Why not record the interview and play it back? Why should the Head Coach of ANY team be forced to wait to make crucial halftime decisions and address their players?
