Someone refresh my memory

Yesterday, Sankey said something like "I'd hate to judge a character by a 10 second video" about Simmons..... Insinuating that he was on board with us and our handling of the situation.

Wasn't his reaction back at the SEC meetings completely opposite of that?

I think he said something like "was not a fan of it"

I don't remember him making a statement. If I recall correctly, someone on our side insinuated the league was on board with our handling of the situation (I.e. Approved him) and he basically said he didn't have anything to do with the decision.

Edit: I was wrong. He basically said that Scott said the league office was "comfortable" with the decision and Sankey said he would not use the word comfortable but left the decision up to the university.

Sankey played it perfectly from a PR standpoint. Agree with your constituents while distancing yourself from the situation.

Yep. Sankey knows there are plenty of guys playing in the SEC every Saturday (and all the other conferences too) who have done worse things than Jeffery Simmons did.
