I think a key to that was five years ago, when LSU and Florida had a very public dispute over the cancellation and rescheduling of their 2016 football game that was impacted by a hurricane. That was publicly acrimonious and it happened under Sankey, who had been on the job for only about a year.
So it wouldn't surprise me if Sankey has vowed to never let that happen again.

SEC protocol on the ceremonial second vote, no negative votes, and in this case nobody abstained either.
When a school requests an application an initial unrecorded vote is held requiring 3/4ths to be sent an application. This is the vote that matters. If a school pushes the conference for an application after a negative vote they get one, but the submitted application is usually tabled. When the SEC invites someone to join the ceremonial vote requires no negative votes. All new members start with no recorded animus and full support, or at least with abstentions no rejections.
And Quo, Sankey as with all newbies had to grow into the job. I was apprehensive after the incident you cite. After the way he handled A&M I would say he not only found a pair, but a big damned pair at that!

The ball is a rolling now. Can't stop this and I'm going on record and say that the AAC will outlast the Big XII. Who's with me?

I don’t think the current CUSA has voted 14-0 on anything.
We probably would to add TX & OK though

As David Samson talks about MLB meetings and votes, most vote has objectors but passes. Then the owners vote again and it's unanimous and that second vote is what the press release is written about and made public.

It’s going to be interesting seeing how this plays out. The Big 12 might refuse to negotiate and make Texas and Oklahoma both play out the string. Bowlsby on the phone with his chief of officials now. Remember that Horns down thing we talked about? Forget about it….
Texas and Oklahoma better break out the Vaseline cause they’re about to get bent over…..

Oil people have a tendency to be very slippery characters.

RE: Officially Official...14-0 For SEC Expansion for Texas & Oklahoma
Nice troll job by Texas
Del Conte, Hartzell and Eltife looked at each other. Del Conte nodded toward Eltife. After a four-second pause, the regent cracked: “We’d like to thank the Aggies for voting for us.”
The room erupted in laughter and applause.
Texas moved another step closer toward SEC membership on Thursday, when the league’s presidents — including Texas A&M’s M. Katherine Banks — voted unanimously to invite the Longhorns (and Oklahoma), effective July 1, 2025. UT will take the final step toward membership on Friday morning during a regents meeting, closing the book on a fast, furious process that will forever change the sport.
