SEC is a college athletic conference based in Birmingham, Alabama, and is financially one of the most successful conferences which operate in the Southeastern part of United States. The conference was established in 1932 when the 13 members on both sides
of the Appalachian Mountains decided to form their own conference. Ten of the 13 members are still part of the conference including Universities of Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Auburn, Louisiana State, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt
Universities.
In 1991, the conference extended to take two new members in its fold, the University of Arkansas and University of South Carolina. The SEC also participates in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in its major football events and televises
football games across the United States in the fall season, through its contracts with the CBS and ESPN. ESPN reportedly paid $2.25 billion for broadcasting rights of SEC Football between the years 2009-2025.
