The SEC spring meetings are underway in Destin, Florida and change is on the horizon.
It was just after 10 a.m., Tuesday in the beachside resort hosting the league’s annual spring meetings. The lobby was starting to fill with VIPs when the Alabama football coach entered the space. Looking in a few directions, he stopped to ask an employee where he was headed.
No, a year after wrestling over the difference between playing eight or nine conference football games, this year’s Sandestin Summit will explore much heavier issues surrounding the very nature of collegiate sports’ existence. Just listen to the swaggering SEC commissioner Greg Sankey when addressing reporters Monday night before officially opening the meetings.
To that point, new Texas A&M athletics director Trev Albert delivered one of the more definitive answers to reporters.. “I’ve said it 100 times, and I’ll say it again: We don’t have a revenue problem in college athletics, we have an expense problem.”“We’ll see,” Sankey said. “I don’t know if my opinion on that matters right now. We’ll go through this settlement process to its conclusion. Again, there will be a set of decisions made. So we’ll see.
