HOOVER, Ala. – New Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey opened his first SEC Media Days address Monday quoting Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A Changin’.” Ah, just the right tone for a lot of talk about progress.
The new tune includes the SEC’s Confederate flag stance. Sankey said he was “particularly proud of the leadership” at South Carolina, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, “our campuses in the states at the center of this debate.”
Unfortunately, Sankey stopped short of committing to apply pressure to the state of Mississippi after South Carolina and Alabama removed the Confederate flag from statehouse grounds.
