Sankey scoffs at notion of SEC-B1G super league

Article excerpt

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey flatly rejected speculation that his conference is pursuing a merger or alliance with the Big Ten to create a super league. The commissioner's dismissal of the idea, calling it "not consistent with the truth", suggests rumors about conference realignment or consolidation have circulated in recent weeks. With the college sports landscape in flux following various conference departures and TV deals, questions about whether the two power conferences might eventually join forces have gained traction among observers. Sankey's statement serves as a clear, if terse, denial of those merger prospects.
