In recent history I'd say Florida has contributed the most overall. It is a large school with very solid academics and top-shelf athletic programs. At least over the last 20 years or so it is easily the top because it does everything well.
Historically it is a bit trickier. Vandy is clearly the academic heavyweight. It is one of the most prestigious schools in the entire south. Alabama put the SEC on the map for football (although several other programs have historically been strong, I can admit Bama is the best historically). Kentucky of course owns the SEC in basketball.

Tough question to answer....in terms of overall contributions to athletics, Arkansas and LSU have won the most NCAA titles....
In individual "revenue" sports, KY for basketball and Alabama for football stand out....South Carolina has helped the rep of the conference in baseball....Tenn has been dominant in women's bb, and GA and Ala are among the best in gymnastics.
In academics, Vandy, Florida and UGA top the rankings by US News and other sources....(Mizzou and TAMU aren't included in my rankings, since they are so new)....
In terms of "culture" and desirability of the setting/town/football stadium/traditions....LSU/Baton Rouge, Georgia/Athens, Ole Miss/Oxford/the Grove....all great college towns with great traditions.
Ok, time to choose:
I am going with Florida based on academics and recent athletic success. Tough choice though.
