SEC commissioner Greg Sankey stated, "This availability reporting policy is intended to reduce pressure from outside entities seeking participation information and represents a commitment of our 16 institutions to provide enhanced transparency..."
The new policy requires SEC schools to submit availability reports three days before each football game, along with updates up to just before kickoff, ensuring clarity on player status.
Schools will designate players as "available," "probable," "questionable," "doubtful" or "out" in their reports, emphasizing the need for transparency while withholding specific reasons for a player's status.
Potential penalties for non-compliance include fines starting at $25,000 for a first offense and up to $100,000 for repeat violations, highlighting the seriousness of this new policy.
