You can spot SEC Media Days topics coming in the distance, and the flag question, for South Carolina and Mississippi schools, was a natural.

Those who do set policy at Ole Miss and Mississippi State had already made statements condemning the state flag and calling for change.
MSU coach Dan Mullen stood behind that policy and received a lot of negative reaction.
