SEC commissioner hints at breaking away from CFP structure

At SEC Media Days on July 20, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey indicated that the league's potential break from the College Football Playoff is becoming a serious consideration. He emphasized that the SEC is tired of external constraints and Congress's interference with media rights and expansion, noting that some SEC schools are not complying with rules. Sankey expressed frustration over the proposed 24-team playoff and how it could dilute the sport. The SEC's potential move raises questions about the future of college sports governance, especially if Congress proceeds with the Save College Sports Act without the SEC or Big Ten's support. He stated that these discussions are central to the future direction of college athletics.
