• History

  The league came into being back in 1933. The conference first had 13 teams located throughout the southeastern region of the United States. They formed the league after deciding to leave the Southern Conference. These 13 schools were: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Sewanee, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. In 1940, Sewanee left the league as it drastically deemphasized collegiate athletics. In 1964, Georgia Tech left the league, and today is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. In 1966, Tulane left the league, and today is a member of Conference USA. The league operated with just ten teams until 1991, when both Arkansas and South Carolina joined. In 1992, the league split into two division of six teams each, and was the first to hold a conference championship game.
