SEC and Big Ten leaders held an "unprecedented" meeting on Thursday, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey told reporters.

The meeting involved Sankey, Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti and member schools' athletic directors, Ross Dellenger reported for Yahoo Sports.

Sankey and Petitti used the meeting to "strongly" push back against a recent proposal from private equity firms for involvement in future revenue sharing with student-athletes, per Heather Dinich of ESPN.

The conference leaders also discussed what the College Football Playoff would look like in the future, per Dellenger.
