SEC could have easily saved UF-FSU rivalry, but selfishness prevailed | Commentary

A question for Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey, whose league earlier this week announced it will play a 10-game, conference-only schedule that effectively killed the Florida-Florida State rivalry for this season.

In explaining the SEC’s decision earlier this week, Sankey said, “The new schedule supports the safety measures that are being taken by each of our institutions to ensure the health of our campus communities.”

Actually, I have a second question: How is it safer for the Florida Gators to fly to Arkansas or Texas A&M rather than simply bus to Tallahassee for a game this season?
