I guess I read a different article.   They had a discussion with players. I’m glad they are having that discussion.  I would’ve found the article to be disturbing if they were lying to the players. They weren’t. They were admitting that they don’t have a lot of the answers and that there are no guarantees.

Not sure why Sankey’s  salary, by the way, is relevant - he’s going to make that money whether they play or not. Now if his salary was tied to playing, that would be relevant to the story).

 I said it before I’ll say it again – I don’t think they should be playing college football this year. But I’m not particularly troubled by anything I read in the article. Nor frankly am I troubled by Sankey’s  comment.   I suspect that is exactly what they are trying to do. Whether it’s going to be possible and whether they can (or should) actually do it or not is a different  question. And none of that should be left to the NCAA or any sports conference. It should be the universities president. If the president of Alabama says we ain’t playing football no way no how -  that’s it.

Finally – how is anything the SEC is trying to do different from what the Pac-12 is trying to do? Or for that matter Stanford.
