Couple of Big Points Greg Sankey Will be Asked Repeatedly

SEC Commissioner will go early at SEC Media Days and expect "futures" questions

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — There is a breakaway point from usual routine of guessing where everybody will finish in SEC this year at media days in Nashville, but talk about what they do scheduling after 2024 is going to come up a few times.

Commissioner Greg Sankey is going to get hit with that is over and over, but if there's an answer we'll know it early because it would change the entire direction focused on the coaches and players. Everybody is wondering how many games they play going forward (eight or nine) and if teams have permanent opponents or not.

These are some pretty basic questions. Either they are taking the new media rights discussions down to the wire, or they just haven't announced anything yet. If it's the latter, SEC leadership has managed to keep a secret far better than what happens in the league most of the time.

Texas and Oklahoma coming into the SEC next year will change the face of everything going forward. Everyone on both sides of the issue has a vision as to how that will go down from a wins and losses perspective, but there won't be solid information to judge how that might play out for a while. The last two teams that jumped from the Big 12 to the SEC (Texas A&M and Missouri in 2012) came in with a tremendous splash their first seasons. Don't say you know that won't happen this time or anything else, because everybody "knew" what was going to happen then, and nobody was close to correct.

The big role streaming plays hasn't been fully explored yet either. It's going to keep growing and that's pretty much guaranteed. Some of us don't have a single cord going into the wall, but still watch things on TV as entire online platforms now function basically as cable networks. It's not just young people doing it anymore.

But we'll have to wait until Sankey takes the podium to possibly get solid answers. We likely won't have long to wait because it is the national stage for the SEC to make big announcements and nothing grabs the viewers quite like it.
