There are a number of hot-button issues facing college football these days, and they will be discussed in Destin, Floria, this week.

That’s where the SEC’s spring meetings will be held, and there are some things that commissioner Greg Sankey wants to discuss.

On the topic of sports gambling, Sankey said it’ll be important not to get caught off-guard by the rapidly changing betting landscape (via the Associated Press):

“Sometime out there, it may be part of what we do, but I think we should proceed very carefully,” Sankey said. “I’m not in any rush to see that happen. I think it’s a mistake to hurry and not do something correctly.”

In addition, Sankey said he expects the NCAA transfer portal to be a topic of discussion:

“Do I expect conversation? Yes,” Sankey said. “Do I think that’s a central part? Perhaps in interviews. My view is we have to pay attention to the different patterns. I think, if I’ve looked at the data correctly, we’ve accelerated the number of people looking to transfer. I’ve seen some media articles that there’s more people in the transfer (portals) than there are available scholarships. I’ve said that for years: We can’t assume that people just have opportunities, or better opportunities, when they transfer.”

There’s sure to be a spirited debate in Destin this week, so we’ll see what news comes out of Florida during the spring meetings.
