I believing more and more every day this guy is braindead. First, he signs a horrible tv deal, then brings in OU and Texas, the let's Petitti strong arm him into 9 conference games, then decides to side with the Big 10 and their NIL handbook that they wrote so they could win championships instead of partnering with the ACC and Big 12 who want uniformity and telling the B1G to kick rocks. Now, he's handing another SEC team, who will be in the playoff hunt, another loss. If I didn't know better i'd think he's a big 10 plant.

He is committed unless the math shows putting more SEC teams in the CFP makes more money.

Of course ESPN doesn’t want a playoff with more than 14 teams since they lose control and Sankey wants to keep ESPN happy.

Sankey has been a disaster for the SEC. His only concern is his own bank account.
