Scout Fantasy's Editor-In-Chief weighs in on the SEC Network's decision to stop advertising fantasy football.
In a conversation with WVTM-TV, Greg Sankey, the Commissioner of the SEC, announced that the SEC Network has decided to stop advertising with DraftKings and FanDuel. Sankey described the commercials as "a form of gambling." "It is a form of skill game, and I think there is some question about that," he said. He continued, saying, "and I think the appropriate place for us to land as a conference on the SEC Network, again working with ESPN, is not to include that advertising on the SEC Network moving forward.
