SEC commissioner Greg Sankey issues statement on Egg Bowl brawl
The Egg Bowl was on Thanksgiving night, meaning it was a national showcase for the SEC.
However, the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Ole Miss Rebels soured things, getting in a brawl and also having some fireworks after the game.
On Monday, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey issued a statement on the antics, saying he’s going to have both ADs meet with him this offseason to find out how to create a better environment in this game:

This is one of the most-intense rivalries in all of college football, but that rivalry has led to extracurricular activities both during and after recent Egg Bowl games.
Sankey is clearly tired of it, so we’ll see if the schools can rein in the fighting.
