SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey joins Dan Patrick on The Dan Patrick Show. They cover everything about college athletics including expansion of the SEC, the expansion of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, and the importance of keeping conferences regional. And he explains the real problem with the NCAA transfer portal and what is needed to fix it.
Greg Sankey: “We have had Attorneys General and states file lawsuits over transfer policies, even common-sense transfer policies. We also have to remember the NCAA has a habit of being asked for waivers and granting waivers which I think magnifies the problem. So, if we came to a point where you said, ‘Hey, the rules are the rules. Here’s the timeframe you can engage in certain behavior and there are no waivers, and there are no lawsuits out of those waivers,’ that’d be idyllic for us compared to where we are now.”
