Greg Sankey reminds everyone who actually runs the playoff | Opinion
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey wasn’t subtle about who does — and doesn’t — have a seat at the table. “Last I knew, the AFCA isn’t in charge.”
BIRMINGHAM, AL – Greg Sankey and Craig Bohl walk into a bar. That's not the beginning of a joke. It's what needs to happen.
The former is clearly not happy with the latter; SEC Commissioner Sankey spoke candidly on Monday about the American Football Coaches Association's recent showing of public support for a 24-team College Football Playoff , among other stances. Bohl is it's executive director, and Sankey believes he was due, at the very least, a heads up that the memo was forthcoming. "It's kind of disappointing.
I had seen Craig Bohl a couple weeks ago. I know he has my cellphone number," Sankey said at the Associated Press Sports Editors Southeast Region meeting at the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. "It would have been nice to have had a conversation about the rationale for their statement, and maybe the rationale for some of those decisions.
That's a fair leadership expectation. " Ooofff. Now there's a frosty shoulder.
