Sankey: School Rep. Brought Up Joining SEC As Recently As Last Week

With widespread realignment altering the landscape of college sports, the SEC has emerged as perhaps the most powerful conference. Commissioner Greg Sankey admitted on the Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday that schools continue to ask the conference about potentially joining.

He said often presidents of certain universities, none of which he named, call and end the conversation by hinting that they would be interested in joining the SEC at some point.

The most recent phone call he received regarding joining the SEC came last week, although Sankey didn’t reveal what school it was.
