Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey tells Rich why he’s not fully on-board with a football-only super league for CFB and if he’d be interested in running the new organization if it were to come to fruition, explains why he’s concerned about the misuse of unregulated NIL deals in college sports and how he addressed the recent war or words between Alabama’s Nick Saban and Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher, if the CFP will be expanding from its current 4-team format, and reveals that the SEC is not actively recruiting new schools but he’d consider further expansion if the right opportunity presented itself.

Rich fields calls from viewers with VERY different reactions to the Deshaun Watson suspension.
