Greg Sankey Wants to Keep Football Recruiting "Healthy"
And those incentives Gary was supposedly offered? Those would be "healthy" incentives.
. @GregSankey said they want to keep football recruiting in a healthy atmosphere.

It's his job. One of Sankey's key responsbilities is to be an advocate for the SEC, and he's being an advocate for the SEC. The NCAA, on the other hand, could be a more objective arbiter of what's acceptable and unacceptable, but they've let shit get totally out of hand.
I don't blame Sankey, and I think this kind of back-and-forth is kind of fun and good for Michigan. But the NCAA seriously sucks.

Which got me to thinking.
What's Delany's job? He's gone completely underground on this one.
February 12th, 2016 at 10:05 AM ^
I think there are plenty of other "incentives" offered that are known and soon to come to light (ie. Ole Mi$$).
I like Jake Butt's perspective on the spring practice in Florida as a current college student, since it's pretty healthy IMO.
For those who missed it:
As a student athlete, I like the idea of knocking out some of my spring practices when I don't have to worry about class..#perspective

opening his mouth about this, the worse it makes him and the SEC look. Besides, if he wants to make recruiting "healthy" he needs to weed out all the bagmen affiliated with his dirty conference- as a start.

which joined the Cheaters list from the SEC last week as well

Here I was, ready to bring up Ole Miss. Yet numberous Mgobloggers have already beaten me to the punch in minutes. Never change guys, you're the best.

All the comments are negative against Snakey. Everybody sees through it.
The SEC is the last entity on earth that has any credibility about ethics and following actual rules, much less made up ones.

Is that why so many of the SEC recruits are medicaled? For their health?
February 12th, 2016 at 11:43 AM ^
That's why so many of them wind up at St. Nick's hospital.

ESPN still has the TV rights to the CFP. I think they understand how many TV sets we bring into the equation and would love us in there as often as Alabama is in the playoff.
Remember that Sankey hasn't been on the job a full year. There's no way he's speaking out on this without Saban and the other coaches directing them. Also, remember that Ole Mi$$ is being hit with high level NCAA violations. Sankey only made a fuss about this when the Ole Mi$$ stuff came out this week. We knew the football team was going to Florida since the middle of last week. He's saying what the coaches want him to say while deflecting attention from that dirty ass program in Oxford, MS.
February 12th, 2016 at 10:26 AM ^
ESPN has been Harbaugh-bashing ever since he turned the tables on their assinine narrative about him being an NFL coach for life. Now, they can do that plus protect the gravy bowl of their SEC bedfellows.

Is a sanctimonius and hypocritical pile of stinking monkey dung in the form of a man.
Other than that, I have no problem with him.

Thank you Commisioners Sankey and Swofford for bringing such publicity to Michigan footbnall recruiting. It has greatly helped ensure Michigan's recruiting success in the South.
February 12th, 2016 at 12:10 PM ^
Yes. If I am a 5-star recruit in the south, I want to hear from Michigan just to see what all the attention is about. I may like what I see.
Recruits who visit Ann Arbor really like Ann Arbor. I'm not sure why the SEC wants to get recruits interested in seeing what is going on at Michigan when they would not otherwise do so.
On the old Hollywood Squares game show, which is just tic-tac-toe, when a contestant would do something stupid the MC would not call them out on it directly. Instead he would say in a patronizing voice: "Interesting strategy. This might work out."
Interesting strategy, SEC. This might work out.

I keep reading his name as Greg Skanky. The more bullshit he spouts out of his mouth, the more it seems appropriate.

You serious, Clark?
