HOOVER, Ala. — Greg Sankey does a little bragging when asked about the main item on the agenda for this week's Southeastern Conference spring meetings.
"That as a conference we're doing really, really well," the league's commissioner said. "I'd put that at the top."
The annual gathering of coaches, administrators and league officials begins Tuesday in Destin, Florida. And rest assured, it will be about more than SEC types patting themselves on the back over their athletic successes.
There also figures to be plenty of talk about sports gambling — specifically the prospect of NFL-style availability lists outlining injury status — NCAA transfer waivers, and the potential for student athletes to eventually be compensated for their names, images and likenesses.
