SEC Football History and Facts
The SEC was established in December of 1932 when 13 schools formed the original conference affiliation.  
10 of the original 13 SEC schools remain.
The three original Southeastern Conference universities that dropped out of the league include Sewanee
(1940), Georgia Tech (1964), and Tulane (1966)
SEC Conference expansion took place in 1991 when South Carolina and Arkansas joined the conference
ranks.  The two additions expanded the SEC to 12 teams.
The SEC was the first league to hold a conference championship game when the champions of the SEC
Easter  and Western divisions squared off in the 1992 championship contest.
The current 12 SEC schools are from a nine state area.  The states of Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee
host two SEC universities.
The league extended invitations to Texas A&M University and the University of Missouri to join the conference
as all-sport members.  The two schools join the Southeastern Conference for the 2012/2013 season.
