SEC History
The Southeastern Conference was formed
Dec. 8-9, 1932, to include 13 schools: Alabama,
Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky,
LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Sewanee,
Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt.
Frank L. McVey of Kentucky was the first
president of the league. The first commissioner
was former Mississippi governor Martin Conner
(1940-48), followed by Bernie Moore (1948-66),
A.M. “Tonto” Coleman (1966-72), Dr. Boyd
McWhorter (1972-86), Dr. Harvey Schiller
(1986-90) and Roy Kramer (1990-2002).
The first SEC champions were crowned in
1933 in baseball, basketball, football and outdoor
track. Cross country, golf, swimming, tennis and
indoor track were added later. The SEC began
recognizing women’s championships during the
1979-80 school year and women’s athletics officially
came under the auspices of the conference
office on Sept. 1, 1984.
The SEC currently regulates nine men’s sports
and 11 women’s sports. The men’s sports are baseball,
basketball, football, golf, swimming, tennis and
track (indoor, outdoor and cross country). The
women’s sports are basketball, golf, gymnastics, soccer,
softball, swimming, tennis, track and volleyball.
SEC Game Format
Currently the women do not use a division
format for scheduling. Instead the 14-game
schedule is setup in the following manner: *
Single round robin (11 games) * In-Division permanent
opponent in a home-and-home series
(South Carolina) * Two games on a two-year
rotation home-and-home series (one divisional -
Tennessee, and one non-divisional - LSU).
This season will be the final year for the
14-game schedule as the SEC coaches have
voted to use the same 16-game divisional format
as the men's teams beginning in 2009-10.
