A full slate of ranked matchups made for an intriguing Week 4 last week. The slate delivered, and college football saw strong TV ratings throughout the weekend of action, fueled by another big day for ABC, which swept the three key windows. No. 1 Texas went to Tennessee and fought off the No. 14-ranked Vols despite a late charge in the final minutes. That kicked off ABC’s tripleheader, which included Florida’s resounding victory over Ole Miss in the late-afternoon slot. Finally, LSU cruised past Texas A&M in primetime as ABC swept for the second straight week.


The BiG is getting crushed by SEC ratings and pays 18 schools more than the 16 in the SEC. Malpractice fire Sankey’s arse!

The big ten has done a master class in embarrassing Sankey.

They beat him like a drum in media rights, they beat him like a drum on the 9 conference games. They conned him into getting his conference and its members sued by playing chicken with the TRO and he just jumped the sec into it.

The guy is a clown commissioner

Sankey, by every measurable factor, should be fired.

Correct, but when the annual payout gap is close to $10M in favor of the BiG and ratings suggest the SEC should be $15-20M ahead costing our members $25M plus annually until 2034 is a disaster.

Even that Plowman bitch can’t ignore these inconvenient facts.

Sankey will cost SEC schools over $200M each over his decade with this ridiculous contract he gifted Disney/ABC:ESPN.

The question isn’t whether they should fire him, the question is why are they keeping him despite his continuously embarrassing himself and everyone else.

Sankey: muh I didn’t actually read the 5 for 5 rule silly.
SEC: Sankey is our guy and we’re sticking with him

Something’s fricky.

Yep, the TV deal was bad bad bad. That alone should get Sankey fired.

There is NO reason the SEC should be disbursing less TV money to its schools than the Big10

The TV deal plus giving us a disadvantage with 9 conference games should have been enough to let him go.

He managed to top that and he embarrassed the sec by suing a founding member in federal court and opening up the members to a massive lawsuit from the ole miss players. The university presidents need to be questioned on why all but Rouse supported something that is going to cost its members money
