Greg Sankey Shares Latest on Changes to SEC Football Schedule

Greg Sankey, commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, shared the latest details on the SEC’s future scheduling format on Tuesday.

Sankey said the league is focused more on a single division model and eliminating the two-division format, according to Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger. Rebels coach Lane Kiffin confirmed that the conference narrowed its scheduling models to eight- and nine-game formats but declined to reveal more details.

The commissioner followed that statement with the expectation that the new format will happen "sooner rather than later."

In an eight-game format, teams in the league would have one permanent opponent and face seven rotating opponents (1-7 model).
