I may Dox myself here but that’s fine. I shared this on Twitter earlier and wanted your thoughts on regards to the current state of college football and Greg Sankey.
Greg Sankey is doing his job — and in the process, he’s destroying the sport we love.
Let’s be clear: Sankey’s loyalty is to the SEC. And from a purely business standpoint, he’s been wildly effective — securing monster TV deals, expanding with blue-blood brands like Texas and Oklahoma, and positioning the SEC as the dominant force in college football.
But here’s the problem: what’s “good” for the SEC isn’t necessarily good for college football.
So yes, Sankey is “doing his job.”
But if your job burns the house down, maybe it’s time to rethink the mission.
College football was great because it was different — regional, passionate, messy, and meaningful. Now it’s becoming just another corporate product.
And we’re all going to miss what we had when it’s gone.
Before you say it yes the ncaa @donalsonville_dawg.

But here’s the problem: what’s “good” for the SEC isn’t necessarily good for college football.
- Historic rivalries are dying.
- Regional identity is fading.
- The regular season means less.
- Conference championships are being devalued.
- Fans are losing the connection that made the sport special.
So yes, Sankey is “doing his job.”
