SEC's Sankey says language in tampering rules is 'archaic' and NCAA needs to adjust quickly
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey calls for a policy reset on NCAA tampering rules due to name-image-likeness and transfer changes, amid conference disagreements on enforcement.
- Speaking Saturday at the SEC basketball tournament in Nashville, Tennessee, Greg Sankey, Southeastern Conference commissioner, called NCAA tampering language archaic and said, 'We need clarity.'
- Earlier this week, school leaders met with NCAA President Charlie Baker and pressed for quick changes to tampering rules amid name-image-likeness payments, transfer rules, and agents.
- The NCAA issued a memo, saying it would pursue significant penalties, while the Big Ten asked for a halt and the Atlantic Coast and Big 12 commissioners opposed that request.
- Without calling for a freeze on probes, Sankey said 'We need clarity' and pressed for policymakers to understand what's happening with NCAA investigations.
- Beyond the tournament, the dispute traces to last month when Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney accused Mississippi coach Pete Golding over transfer-portal signee Luke Ferrelli.
