Mississippi State and Ole Miss got in a brawl on national television on Thanksgiving night, which wasn’t a very good look for either school or the SEC as a conference.
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey released a statement regarding the Egg Bowl incident late Monday afternoon, stating he’s going to have both athletic directors meet with him this offseason to find out how to create a better environment for this game moving forward:
