Says it’s not his decision, says it’s the SEC rules, and has been the rule. Says it must be voted on to change. Pruitt mentioned this on Gibbs as well last year. I bet this rule is revisited in the next SEC meetings.
Sankey cites league rule in addressing SEC transfer questionsGOVOLS247
“There’s a very direct rule that says if you transfer from School A to School B in the SEC, you serve an academic year-of-residence (before you’re eligible),” Sankey said. “There are a set of NCAA oddity exceptions. Then in 2018, our membership created two more, one for grad transfers and one for individuals on teams that face postseason bans. And people send in waivers, but one of the questions that should be asked is not what is the commissioner going to do, it’s why haven’t our members voted to change that rule.
“So we’re inviting people to campus knowing there’s a clear rule, and now everyone points and says, ‘Well, you need to let people out of that rule.’ And one of the questions that’s real is why has our membership not acted to change, and the answer is because we have to work together, we have to be respectful. Could it change, should it change, might we manage it differently, those are questions still to be answered.
