🏈 Time to put your SEC History knowledge to the test

Well, crud, I would have aced this one but been too busy playing FF7 Remake. I knew all of them except 2 for quite some time now. Learned the answer to 2, at SECMD this past year, when they put up a little History of the SEC slideshow in the print media room, to start the pony show.

Uh, no. C is the answer to #2.

"McVey held an informal meeting of the school presidents in Birmingham Feb. 16, 1933, then the first full meeting in Atlanta Feb. 27."

 
That little slideshow they had at SECMD claimed it was Knoxville. Then the next night, at the sneak peak for Saturdays in the South series for SECN, all the clips they showed had UT as the victim. So I immediately felt better about "what I had learned" the day before.

Maybe that meeting in Knoxville was prior to 1933, may have been where they decided to create the conference. I just recall seeing that as one of the many factoids thrown up on the screen and me screaming out in internal fury.

Maybe this will help clear it up.

"The 13 members west and south of the Appalachian Mountains reorganized as the Southeastern Conference at the annual SC meeting of Dec. 8-9, 1932, in Knoxville. The 10 coast members remained in the Southern Conference. Dr. Frank L. McVey of Kentucky was elected president of the new conference whose charter members were: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Sewanee, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. (Sewanee withdrew Dec. 13, 1940, Georgia Tech on June 1, 1964 and Tulane on June 1, 1966). McVey held an informal meeting of the school presidents in Birmingham Feb. 16, 1933, then the first full meeting in Atlanta Feb. 27. "
