Mizzou's Jim Sterk: SEC has not stopped to bring sports back for 2020

UPDATE, 2:45 p.m.

The Big Ten Conference football season might not happen this season, but the Southeastern Conference isn't ready to give in just yet.

Echoing SEC commissioner Greg Sankey's comment from earlier in the day, Missouri athletics director Jim Sterk insisted the league is trying to salvage the 2020 season.

“Since college athletics stopped back in March, the Southeastern Conference has not rushed its decision-making processes while working collaboratively to develop plans for all sports to return to play in the healthiest environment possible," Sterk said.
