Greg Sankey was asked Wednesday about the idea of a “super league” in college athletics, but the SEC commissioner didn’t bite.

“The fact that people have interest in throwing ideas out, that’s up to them,” Sankey told reporters after the annual College Football Playoff spring meetings, per ESPN. “I spend my time on what I have to do.”

According to the report, in mid-February, the search firm TurnkeyZRG circulated a confidential proposal that included seven divisions with 10 schools each. It failed to gain support.

Despite talk of re-alignment, the expanded CFP, NIL and more, Sankey defended college sports.

“You can use the cliché, ‘If I was buying stock, I’d buy stock in college sports,’” he said. “Well, apparently a lot of people believe that outside of college sports. Something’s going right.”

The 10 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame’s athletic director lead the College Football Playoff and met at the spring summit for the first time since they reached an agreement on the new CFP television deal, revenue distribution model and format.

Under the new revenue model, the SEC and Big Ten are making a combined 58 percent of all CFP cash, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
