The Southeastern Conference's unprecedented football season kicks off in three days, but SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said Wednesday he’s still “in the hold my breath moment.”
COVID-19 cases have already forced teams in other conferences to postpone games for the coming weekend, but Sankey is hopeful the SEC can pull off its first slate of seven games Saturday. The SEC canceled all nonconference games and moved to a 10-game league-only schedule over a 12-week period before the SEC championship game on Dec. 19.
Asked Wednesday how he’ll measure success in the SEC this fall, Sankey said it comes down to the start and the finish of the season.
