Discuss - no Saban/Bama comments please. Looking for how the process of hiring a new commissioner really works. Who collects the resumes and who does the interviews? Who is the decision maker(s)?

Slive isn't going anywhere so this thread is pointless. However, I believe the ADs vote on the new commish.

I would imagine the university presidents through their ADs would organize a search committee that would interview candidates and make recommendations. The presidents would have the final say-so of who is hired, IMO.

If rumor is correct Slive won't be around to finish out his term.

I originally thought it was the 12 universities, but the more I think of it, the more it appears that would be a very cumbersome process. I would think they would appoint a small committee to handle the interviews the make a recommendaton, but that is pure speculation.

Was just wondering who Slive's boss actually is. If Rodgers Redding reports to Slive, who does Slive answer to?

He just got the biggest tv contract with ESPN ever in college football. I would be very skeptical of that rumor

You probably also want the Bama-LSU game to be played in Maine in odd-numbered years...

The SEC signs historic contracts which will bring in 3 billion dollars over the next 15 years during Slive's run yet he'll be fired for the refs making a few bad calls. Hmmm...

The SEC is a business. College football is a business. The SEC is making more money and has more exposure than at any time in it's history. A few botched calls aren't more important than the dollar.

What? Next year 6 of the 8 SEC teams Alabama plays have a bye the week before. I really wish the SEC would quit giving Alabama so many breaks... In 2007 both Alabama and LSU had a bye the week before the game, last year neither did, so since Alabama did this year is that another reason you'd like to leave the SEC?
