HOOVER, Ala. — Greg Sankey laid out broad goals for the Southeastern Conference to win every championship and graduate every athlete in his first Media Days address as commissioner, but said the league would not accept "even one step back" in its improved record of NCAA rules compliance over the [ast several years.
"Our goal is to never return a championship, never pull down a championship banner, never vacate any wins, never have any team banned from postseason play due to NCAA infractions," Sankey said.
In an aspirational speech that mostly avoided specifics about policy issues surrounding college sports, Sankey said the league would establish a pair of working groups to look at "conduct expectations" for athletes and the environment around NCAA rules compliance and enforcement.
