SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said Saturday that combining the TV rights of all conferences to sell together wouldn't serve as a quick fix for college sports and might not be a fix at all.
Sankey, speaking before the football game between Florida and Texas A&M, outlined why he doesn't think the pooling of TV rights — an idea that has drawn attention lately — is a good idea. His comments are a direct rebuke of an idea proposed by Cody Campbell, the billionaire chairman of the Texas Tech Board of Regents, who said earlier in the week the idea of combining the rights is being held back because "the conferences are all represented by commissioners who are very, very self-interested."
