Amid heated College Football Playoff debate, SEC's Greg Sankey unloads on ACC, Big 12

MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — It was only matter of time before this inevitable arrived.

The desperate lash out, the defeated try anything. But not this time, not in this specific situation.

“I don’t need lectures from others about the good of the game,” says SEC commissioner Greg Sankey.

Especially when, in his mind, he’s the one who has been working to save the ACC and Big 12’s hide all along.

He was the one who not long ago convinced his presidents in the SEC that the College Football Playoff (not an SEC playoff) was in the best interest of college football u2015 even thought many of those presidents were unsure of CFP expansion in the first place.
