When SEC commissioner Greg Sankey made it public knowledge that their conference’s decision to play football directly hinged on the Big 12’s move - that was an insane gamble on Bob Bowlsby’s laissez-faire attitude alone. Luckily for Big 12, SEC, and ACC fans across the nation there’s going to be at least one week of football this year.
The problem for our friends in the Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences is that they’re sitting in a reality where all their sweet sweet fandom is going to go to waste in the traditional football season window. HARK!
