HOOVER, Ala. — In a second-floor ballroom here inside the Hyatt Regency, Greg Sankey opened SEC media days by addressing the many elephants in the room.
There was talk of vaccination and the new COVID-19 variant. There was talk of NCAA change and name, image and likeness. There was talk of the Supreme Court, Congress and enforcement of infractions.
The SEC commissioner touched on every major topic in college athletics today— except the impending expansion of the College Football Playoff.
But outside of here, in each college town across America, within athletic departments, presidents’ offices and board meeting rooms, CFP expansion is a raging topic of discussion.
