Southeastern Conference commissioner Greg Sankey continues to fight for a college football season in 2020. He has not guaranteed a season, but he is preaching patience while continuing to learn about the Coronavirus and how it relates to student athletes.
This fight comes after a weekend of doubt with rumors circulating that the Big Ten, and more than likely the Pac-12, would be shutting down their respective conferences for the duration of 2020. And Sankey continues to make rounds of interviews to inform others on why the SEC is taking a patient approach.
On Tuesday morning, Sankey joined the Dan Patrick Show to discuss the current state of college football and how that is currently affecting the SEC. Check out a clip from that interview below, which includes a question about welcoming teams from other conferences into the SEC:
