News [Matt Hayes] The SEC willingly flushed its conference championship game that last year had better ratings than all eight first round CFP games of the brief, 12-team era.

Greg Sankey has forgotten the face of his fathers. (Roy Kramer & Mike Slive)

I know how this is going to be taken considering my flair, but objectively, Sankey has been atrocious as commissioner. Got bent over on the ESPN deal, pushed a 9 game conference schedule without any additional revenue from ESPN, now trying to push an interconference transfer ban and completely bent the knee on a 24 team playoff. Under his watch we’ve seen the SEC lose its place as the top conference in college football.

That’s not even approaching the problems LSU has with him which is immaterial when you just look at his work as a whole.

This is straight homerism. I think him not letting the LSU stuff go and personally keeping this lawsuit going is the beginning of the end.

Because the SEC got bent over backward on the last media deal, he can not be in a strong position with the presidents.

I'll give a prediction right now. I think LSU plans on playing g-league players if Ole Miss does, and daring Sankey to keep going with this crusade against only LSU. I think LSU is going ask for his head/seperate person(s) for enforcement.

LSU is clearly done with the dude and vote for his removal right now.
