SEC commissioner warns of conference-only rules without federal law
Original: SEC's Greg Sankey warns of conference-only rules if Congress fails on college sports
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey warned that if Congress fails to pass legislation governing college sports, his conference may adopt its own rules independent of the NCAA. Speaking amid ongoing turmoil over player compensation, transfer rules and name-image-likeness policies, Sankey signaled the SEC is prepared to act unilaterally to protect its interests, raising the prospect of a fragmented collegiate athletics landscape.
Why now: Congressional inaction on college sports legislation has left major conferences considering going their own way, a significant shift for the sport.
