SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey Bragging on League to Open Conference Media Days

Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey has opened the league’s annual preseason media gathering by bragging about the conference’s national championship success.

It was a good time and good setting to make the boast. Two league members, Alabama and Georgia, played for the championship in a game won by the Crimson Tide at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Sankey said 11 of the last 12 national championship games have included at least one SEC team, and the conference has won nine of the past 12 titles. He said no other conference has had more than two teams represented in that time.

Sankey also spoke on the need to have legalized gambling closely monitored.

The SEC media days are being held in Atlanta this year after being held near Birmingham, Alabama every year since 1985.
