The SEC and Big Ten have both expanded their borders in recent years, and some of those moves have led to criticism. In the mind of SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, however, there is no comparison between what the SEC has done and what the Big Ten has opted to do.
Sankey took a shot at the Big Ten’s expansion on Friday on “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning” when asked about the geographical issues the newly expanded SEC might face. The commissioner dismissed concerns about possible travel to and from the league’s new outpost in Austin, Texas by pointing out that Big Ten schools will endure much longer trips to and from UCLA and USC.
