Sankey's "working collaboratively"....

means you give me what I want or I will take it by alternative measures and you should be happy with the scraps I grant you. What neither the SEC or the B1G grasp is that on their own they are likely worth less than what they command as the biggest dogs in the NCAA show. Moreover, their product, while good, still represents nothing more than a minor league version of the NFL. You have to give Sankey credit, he is the epitome of the Peter Principle with his rise from his days as a Director of Intramurals but, he is clearly beyond his skills ceiling now carried along by the SEC.
