DALLAS — Basking in his league’s new stomping grounds, Southeastern Conference commissioner Greg Sankey stuck with something familiar: talk of leveling the playing field.
Opening the conference’s media days event Monday morning, Sankey tailored his talking points to the arena of legality and legislatures that now houses college sports discourse.
It’s a gripe that has popped up before and is, more than a little indirectly, aimed at Missouri — the school and the state.
The name, image and likeness legislation that took effect nearly a year ago in Missouri was one of the more liberal or aggressive — depending on your perception of the new rules — bits of recent college sports policymaking.
