Alcohol Sales for the General Public at SEC Football Games isn’t Happening Anytime Soon

For the umpteenth year in a row, league officials punted on removing the stadium-wide ban of alcohol sales at SEC schools. Speaking at the SEC Spring Meetings in Destin, Florida, commissioner Greg Sankey provided a statement with little confidence that a significant change will happen.

“There has been ongoing dialogue,” Sankey said. “That’s not a topic that exists only when the newspaper articles are written two weeks before Destin every year. But that hasn’t produced change at this point among our membership.”

To remove the (stupid) rule, it would require a majority vote from the league’s 14 presidents/chancellors.
