ATLANTA -- SEC commissioner Greg Sankey on Wednesday reiterated his belief that the league should adopt a nine-game conference schedule -- a long-discussed change that could help lead to a decision about the future format of the College Football Playoff.
During Tuesday’s festivities at SEC Media Days in Atlanta, Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns took the stage. When each coach is introduced, their respective school’s fight song begins playing. But Sarkisian’s introduction went viral when he wasn’t introduced to “Texas Fight,” and was instead introduced as the “Aggie War Hymn” played.
Commissioner Greg Sankey began the third day of SEC Media Days with an apology directed toward Steve Sarkisian and Texas football. Why? Well, on Tuesday, Sarkisian walked for his media session on that main stage at the Omni Hotel in Atlanta with Texas A&M's Aggie War Hymn blaring from the speakers.
Sankey joins SEC This Morning with Peter Burns and Chris Doering and tells them that even though so much is changing in college sports the industry continues to move forward.
