Roy Kramer ... He created the SECCG, presided over expansion (the one that brought Arkansas and SC in), and created the BCS (that thing that wound up proving the SEC's dominance in football).

Actually, the expansion thing was in the works before Kramer took over, although he definitely pushed it through and made it reality once he took over.

But the BCS thing was actually the brainchild of Charles Bloom, who worked for Kramer at the time. Charlie is now here, as Exec Assc AD and Chief of Staff, at SC and most believe he'll be the next AD once Ray retires. LINK

quote:
Before taking the post at Carolina, Bloom spent 17 years as director of the Southeastern Conference office's media and public relations efforts, and the last 10 years as Associate Commissioner. He supervised the media and public relations operations for the SEC's 21 sports, directly overseeing football, was the chief spokesperson for the conference office and oversaw the communication strategies for the office.

(1) Alabama fans didn't seem to care that their boosters Logan Young et al were buying players (especially in Memphis), but they cared enough to hate Fulmer when he helped end the practice.

It was rough, but was deserved.

But SEC officials never exhibited the disgracefully obvious on-field bias that they have for Alabama and Florida, beginning with the day Slime assumed the office, and continuing to this day, along with official reviews. Where is the league office again? Oh, yeah.
