I don’t understand how the Commissioner of a major conference didn’t read or know the 5 for 5 Ruling until today.



It's way worse than that.

He was lying under oath because the actual language of the rule doesn't hold up to scrutiny when being applied to the SEC rule.

He's trying to railroad a bunch of players and a member school by obfuscating and lying.

He also said this isn't about professionals or not.

He also said he didn't know what a professional was.

If there's a single trait a commissioner should have, it should be fairness.

The SEC has fallen behind and it's pretty easy to see why.

Dude didn’t even know the 5for5 rule in a 5for5 case lol


He showed up to “stand for what’s right” and hadn’t even read what was right.

He’s either very dumb or very arrogant. Probably both.

He’s more of a figurehead. Seems pretty likely that several schools demanded that the league office step in.

My opinion is the SEC felt like they had to act quickly after the Big 10 came out with their rules, like the day before.

Blame the old piss/chambliss trial. Once everyone saw that the SEC/NCAA clearly wasn't going to be able to do anything it was game on


This. Chambliss is ineligible, but playing because of a court order. SEC throws their hands up.

Now all of a sudden Sankey is all out against LSU doing the same (albeit under a different rule that is being ignored).

Once they turned a blind eye to the Chambliss ordeal, it was a wrap.

He was straight up asked if he hated LSU.

That should be the easiest question ever to answer for a conference commissioner.

Sankey didn’t answer. How is he not fired already?

I say this for all SEC teams as we’re in this together. Greg Sankey is too incompetent to hold a position that is this important for all the great teams that are in this conference. He is certainly no Mike Slive.

This is the last straw. No matter what side you are on he has fricked this up. Also, getting owned by Big Ten is getting old

I really dont understand how the sec fans arent on the side of lsu here when ot comes to the sec vs lsu . we give each other shite buy the matchups and shite talking are what makes this place great . I would never want anyone removed from the conference. I want everyone to get the available players . this one year isnt going to destroy anything.

There's probably 1000 players in the SEC making more money than Wright.

EVERY player in the SEC is making more money than Harris.

Harris literally made gas money. $190

Shocked that he didn't find a way to get in front of this.

He had t even read the 5 for 5 ruling u til yesterday and admitted that in court today. Then went on to explain, in detail, how he has no fricking clue how to define a professional athlete.

In my humble opinion, as the Commissioner, you should not hate anyone in the conference. What do I know, I have no hate in my heart for anyone.

They hate LSU fans and think we are literally the devil.

Its not more complicated than that. Simple primal fear.

Both could happen. 15 Presidents are not happy with LSU.
