That is a good point.........
about how much they will patronize Dallas going forward. With Saban out(for the most part) in Tuscaloosa, the Vols really not good enough to throw their weight around and UGA not seemingly predisposed to inordinately throw their weight around the door might be ajar for Dallas.
However, Texas and its history as a conference killer will likely have all the SEC watching things closely. I also would imagine A&M and Arkansas given their history with the Longhorns do not want to recreate the days of the Big 12 or SWC.
All that being said, Sankey is about the money and I imagine he will pit Dallas against Atlanta for some higher profile events as opportunities arise. Sankey has learned well from Mike Slive how to play the game. Without knowing better someone might peg him as a lawyer as opposed to a former director of intramural who worked his way up to the top seat from the compliance ranks. His resume is not that of an entertainment/media industry expert that some of the more vocal posters on this board assert to be a prerequisite for conference commissioners in this day and time.
