SEC commissioner Greg Sankey takes aim at state NIL laws, such as Missouri's statute

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — After reading off his lengthy list of the Southeastern Conference’s accomplishments over the last year — from eight more national championships to the bonanza of NFL, NBA, WNBA and MLB draft picks — commissioner Greg Sankey took aim at his latest source of consternation: state legislatures across the SEC footprint.

In his opening statement to kick off SEC football media days at Nashville’s Grand Hyatt, Sankey never directly referenced the state of Missouri’s newly signed bill that addresses name, image and likeness. But he clearly alluded to the legislation that becomes law next month.
