Taking questions from reporters, Sankey explained why the SEC is exercising a level of caution when it comes to agreeing to an expanded College Football Playoff, which the three other power conferences appear in favor of.

“We need to understand the marketplace,” Sankey said, per NBC Sports reporter Nicole Auerbach. “December and January are crowded months relative to football, particularly on days where you’d be seeking to play college football games in a Playoff that could be expanded — and what happens to the regular season.”

“We have contracts, so pretty committed,” the commissioner said when asked about how the SEC views its title game. Pressed by a reporter whether this is a “philosophical” commitment to the game, Sankey reiterated the conference was philosophically “pretty committed.”
