The Southeastern Conference means so many things to so many people across the southeastern region of the United States and it is interwoven into the southeastern culture. The SEC is home to 14 proud universities, hosting 14 athletic departments that have produced some of the greatest collegiate programs in the history of sports.
The Alabama Crimson Tide produced a football dynasty under Coach Bear Bryant in the 1960’s, 70’s and even into the 80’s, that set the bar for greatness; a bar that Nick Saban certainly has reached today.
Kentucky means basketball in SEC land, and their Wildcats, under Coach Adolph Rupp, set the gold
standard in the 1940’s and into the 50’s that has carried over to today.
