re: What former SEC Athletes became really successful after their career ended?

Jerry Richardson (Owner of Hardees & former owner of Carolina Panthers).

The Jerry Richardson I met, years ago, played ball at Wofford. I know two of his close personal friends, one living in Memphis in the car business and one in Atlanta ... which is how I met him. His son has some connection to Clemson which escapes me at the moment.

Jerry Richardson is not SEC alumni to the best of my knowledge. Matter of fact he had a falling-out with us when Mike McGee refused to allow the expansion Panthers to play in Williams-Brice while Panther Stadium (Nokia) was being built.

ETA: Kai Kroger, the best punter in the nation much less the SEC, has done quite well as the Kaibota tractor and lawn equipment spokesman.

Billy Cannon made millions as a dentist I think it was ... gambled some away.
