SEC's Greg Sankey: 'Only Congress' can resolve NIL issues

[NT80]

"The reality is, only Congress can fully address the challenges facing college athletics," he said. "The NCAA cannot fix all of these issues, the courts cannot resolve all of these issues. The states cannot resolve all of these issues, nor can the conferences. Whether congressional action is achievable is a matter of debate. Much debate."

Also....

While the bulk of his remarks focused on NIL, Sankey also announced that the conference's media days will be held in Dallas next summer, a change that aligns with the arrival of Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC. From 1985 to 2017, the SEC held its event in the Birmingham, Alabama, area, but more recently it has twice (2018 and 2022) ventured into Atlanta. This is the first time the event has been held in Nashville.

 

The SEC will become a 16-team conference in 2024, and Sankey was asked about the league potentially getting even larger....

"Do I think it's done?" he said. "People will say I get to decide that. Right now it appears others are going to decide that before we have to make any decisions.

Of course. Wash his hands of it like the NCAA washed their hands of it. So many of these buffoons have the cushiest jobs in the world... sitting around shrugging shoulders, "I dunno."

Any attempt to restrict NIL is racist.  The only equity blah blah blah is unrestricted NIL like today

I'm sorry, could you be clearer for those of us who attended a public university?  Thanks!
