Alabama was put on probation in 1995 for the first time ever (for Langham signing with an agent on a napkin after the 92 championship).
It's amazing UA stayed clean during the Bryant era.

Bama is second in the SEC when counting major sanctions.

The conference was formed on February 25, 1921 in Atlanta as fourteen member institutions split from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association.[1] Southern Conference charter members were Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Washington & Lee. In 1922, six more universities - Florida, LSU, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane, and Vanderbilt joined the conference. Later additions included Sewanee (1923), Virginia Military Institute (1924), and Duke (1929).
The SoCon is particularly notable for having spawned two other major conferences. In 1932, the 13 schools located south and west of the Appalachians (Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane, and Vanderbilt) all departed the SoCon to form the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
We are like founding members of evahthang.

There is no wasted space on the bandwagon, I see.

Simian, is this what you meant when you said "Alabama fans have good contribution to this board" ?

Don't worry. Auburn sucking in all major men's sports right now is sure to keep y'all at the #1 spot.

Here, here.
Should have left Alabama out of this. Glass houses and all. That being said, it is sort of funny to get hammered so new in the conference. Aggies are overachievers.

The SIAA was founded on December 21, 1894, by Dr. William Dudley, a chemistry professor at Vanderbilt. The original members were Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Sewanee, and Vanderbilt. Clemson, Cumberland, Kentucky, LSU, Mercer, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), Southwestern Presbyterian University, Tennessee, Texas, Tulane, and the University of Nashville joined the following year in 1895 as invited charter members.
Texas A&M was invited in 1903 - Texas dropped out in 1906
Florida was invited in 1910
South Carolina was invited in 1916
If you are going to talk history at least know the right history. FWIW, the archive library at Vanderbilt is worth a trip if you want to read the old documents. On another historical note UK had football a decade before the rest of the SEC and the good Dr. Dudley came from Kentucky.
