SEC firm on stance, in no rush

FAYETTEVILLE -- All eyes in college football turned to the three remaining Power 5 conferences -- the SEC, Atlantic Coast and Big 12 conferences -- on Tuesday after the Big Ten and the Pac-12 announced they were calling off all fall sports due to the coronavirus pandemic.

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, who has preached patience since the beginning of the crisis in mid-March, said his conference will not be rushed into making a decision on whether to play college football this fall.

"I look forward to learning more about the factors that led the Big Ten and Pac-12 leadership to take these actions today," Sankey said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
