"It starts with, can the two conferences come together around some common thoughts?" Sankey said. Sankey has already taken steps to set his conference apart from the NCAA by eliminating the spring transfer portal window for players looking to transfer to from one SEC school to another in an attempt to set rosters and provide some stability for their student athletes. While the hands of the NCAA are somewhat tied until a settlement currently in the courts around compensation for players is settled, Sankey believes there is still room to go forward.
