Just saw Sankey on SEC Network. I wish someone would ask these guys the tough questions. These were all softballs

No one asks about the Elephant that every knows about but no one talks about.. Florida had good reason to not want to play this game.

Ask: LSU offered several, reasonable options to get this game played. With Florida's apparent incentive to not play this game at all, do you think that a 3rd party should have stepped in and told them what to do? In this case, why didn't you tell them to play at a neutral site or in Baton Rouge?

They shouldn't be given the option to just not play it. If they have one, they won't. Thats when the SEC steps in and says not playing it is not an option. You have a bunch of options. pick one.

Also, this excuse about not travelling with the storm because they dont want to be away from their families is complete BS. If that was the best they could do, you know they are reaching for reasons.

If this game was originally scheduled in BR, no one would hear a peep about people having to leave their families. No one ever has. This isn't a new situation.

Pathetic

Danielson grilled him pretty hard during the TN/A&M game when they spoke on the phone.



Gary sounded ticked off.



ETA: What George said.


He just kept answering with "We need to come together as a family." He must've said it 3 or 4 times.

Someone should have said why didn't you schedule the game for Monday and if damage was too bad you postpone again? He would have dodged that one too.

He needs to be fired. This guy is worse than Les Miles with his management.

Is there any rule that the game has to be played or not? Seems there is a rule to allow to FLA get away with what occurred while all other teams moved or played that were affected by hurricane.

After Sankey dodged a few questions and it was clear he wouldn't answer I would have ended with a statement.
It's clear we now have a new standard where the Home teams AD calls all the shots and the new commissioner performs his role from weakness and new expectations are set in place for more SEC games to be canceled when they don't benefit the home team.
