Greg Sankey, the SEC commissioner, is on the verge of becoming the most powerful man in college sports.
Based on multiple reports, he’s one of the ringleaders behind an SEC expansion effort that will add Oklahoma and Texas to what was already the nation’s most competitive conference.
A few days ago, it appeared that Texas A&M and other programs were set to block such an SEC expansion with OU and Texas but that possibility has subsided with more recent news. Today, for instance, Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork said “We’re ready” when commenting on the addition of new SEC members.
