SEC's Greg Sankey Advocates Patience on CFP Expansion, Addresses Roster Size Issues in Destin

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey emphasized the importance of waiting until after the first season of the 12-team College Football Playoff (CFP) to decide on future formats and potential expansion to 14 teams. This stance aligns with other conference leaders like the Big 12's Brett Yormark. Additionally, Sankey indicated that the issue of roster size might be determined on a conference-by-conference basis, fitting within each league’s legal framework. The SEC's athletic directors will form a working group to oversee discussions on football roster construction, a topic that has gained importance following the NCAA's settlement of three anti-trust lawsuits. Sankey also noted that while large NCAA committees often fail to result in action, he believes NCAA Division I can remain unified. The SEC Spring Meetings in Destin highlighted various issues, including injury reports, theme music, and walk-ons, but left many questions unanswered for coaches and athletic directors.
