HOOVER, Ala. — SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey joined Frank Frangie and Hays Carlyon of 1010XL Jax Sports Radio during SEC Media Days. Sankey was asked about his decision to postpone last year’s matchup between LSU and Florida, originally scheduled for Oct. 7 in Gainesville, and later moved to November 19 in Baton Rogue due to Hurricane Matthew.

“It was hard,” Sankey said. “I think in real time I said, ‘it was hard.’ Difficult, certainly a learning experience and resulted in two policy adjustments at that time I’m involved in allowing postponement of the game, which given the weather circumstances was appropriate.
