While March Madness launched last week interesting news was released from the SEC that was probably lost in the chaos for a lot of folks.
The league has hired former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese to serve as “Special Advisor” for men’s basketball to SEC commissioner Greg Sankey.
The SEC has been trying to increase its basketball profile for quite some time. Nothing seems to have worked.
There has been discussion and focus on non-conference schedule. It’s been a topic at the spring meetings in Destin. Coaches have talked about the importance to schedule well not only for their own sakes but for the sake of the league.
