HOOVER, Ala. • A new era for the Southeastern Conference kicked off Monday in the most 21st century way.
Greg Sankey, the league’s new commissioner, captured his entrance at the Wynfrey Hotel on Periscope, the live streaming smartphone application.
Technically, live streaming of SEC football media days is prohibited unless you’re officially operating an SEC Network television camera.
But if anyone can skirt the rules, it’s the new boss.
Sankey, who took over June 1 as the league’s eighth commissioner and replaced longtime SEC mastermind Mike Slive, opened the first session of media days with his first state-of-the-conference address.
