SEC commissioner Greg Sankey talks golf meeting with President Donald Trump

The SEC was busy off the field as well as commissioner Greg Sankey met with President Donald Trump in New Jersey on the golf course. He and Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua played golf with the president to discuss matters across college athletics.

As far as what was discussed, Sankey was mum on the subject. Although, he opened up on the day and mentioned it was a productive meeting.

“Not a secret,” Sankey said Monday. “Had the opportunity to play around and golf with the president. I’ve always appreciated his interest in college sports. We’ve hosted him at some of our games. I think, collectively, we’ve hosted him at national championships. What was helpful for me is – and for Pete [Bevacqua] as well – to hear his thoughts and his perspectives, to share some of ours. I think those are best left for the moment on the golf course.”
