This was a good article about the SEC and Mike Slive at espn.com.

A league with a notorious history of rule-breaking is less than a year away from fulfilling the commissioner's pipe dream: In May 2003, less than a year into the job, Slive declared his desire to have all 12 schools off NCAA probation within five years. For a league currently in a 25-year run of having at least one school on probation at all times, that sounded charmingly naïve.

That's pretty good for the SEC.. LOL

The SEC is as powerful as ever, a moneymaking monster with unrivaled clout and broad-based success across all 20 sports it sponsors. During the 2006-07 season, the SEC became the first league to win national titles in football (Florida), men's basketball (Florida) and women's basketball (Tennessee) in the same year. There were five other national champions as well: women's gymnastics (Georgia), men's and women's swimming and diving (Auburn in both), men's tennis (Georgia) and women's bowling (Vanderbilt). This year the league distributed a record $122 million in revenue to its 12 schools.

Wow, I love the SEC...

He'll have a glass of wine and some cheese and crackers while watching the late-night football highlights. As usual, his league will be prominently featured for his viewing pleasure. An SEC team is No. 1, and the league just delivered a prime-time blockbuster game.

The kingdom is strong as ever. The keeper of the keys is pleased.

I enjoyed how the article ended.
