And we are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA, online at the

big 1050.com, Sam Webb, Mr. Ira Wynchrop on the other side.

Just, you struck by what you were struck by this morning, that being the start of SEC

meetings and just the difference in posture, Ira, between the two commissioners heading.

It doesn't mean that Greg Sanky's going to bend the knee, bend to the will of,

but he was a little more.

He was less contentious, less combative, let's line in the sand.

At least in tone, that was the case.

He may be lying in the sand when it comes to in action, ultimately.

But his tone was a little bit different than I expected it to be.

So it would be interesting to see what comes out of SEC meetings this week.

Appeasing your constituent, Sam.

It's a very interesting set of times.

Because think about the history of these events.

Spring meetings have, that's all they're supposed to be.

Your leadership of your schools, getting together to have conversations.

And then I don't know what the history of it was, but at some point, Greg Sanky said, you know what, media, come on to our event.

You guys should come and hang out with us. And we'll talk to you and tell you everything that's going on and give you all because it's kind of like taking a page out of the NFL playbook, right? You're trying to get on the calendar, essentially. So the SEC gets on the calendar in May. The Big Ten never, while they have had spring meetings for years, it's never been a, afterwards,

you hear like, you know, Ward would talk to us or the Iowa AD would talk to the Dockerman,

the guy who writes for the athletic, or whatever it might be, things like that, and you'd get

little bits and pieces, or maybe the commissioner might have a media avail with somebody

after, but it wasn't like, like press conferences and that kind of thing. Well, this year, Tony Petiti, and I'll give him credit, this is, you know, this is something he probably should have done. Tony Petitini puffs his chest out and says, we're the ones winning everything. And they have, we're up to, the Big Ten's up to like 11 or 12 Big Ten national championships this year alone. So he's got football. He's got the two basketballs and he puts the trophies on display and he tells the media, come on down. And let's have a good time out of this beautiful resort in California. And so he makes it a show. So what does Greg Sankey do? Oh, these spring meetings are overhyped. They're not really that big of a deal. Now that the Big Ten has overtaken him, they make more money. They're winning more. Now, yes, the SEC still has more NFL draft picks, but the Big Ten is winning more. They're all those things that matter the most. Winning and money, the Big Ten has overtaken the SEC. So to kind of your point, while he still has half the power, he probably does have constituents within his conference that he has to play Kate. And he probably does want to play a little bit nice with the other people right now because he doesn't have all of the power that he used to think. Well, he didn't always have it, but he thought he had it. And now he doesn't have all of the power that he used to think well he didn't always
