Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 5092030, member: 71"] It happened in the middle of the football season around 2005 or 2006. While the SEC was working overtime promoting the football programs within the conference (as they were locked out of the BCS championship after the 2004 season even though they had an unbeaten team as conference champion) Gee decided to tell the world that he wanted to have Vandy leave the SEC and join other southern private, high academic schools (I listed the schools he named) to create a southern version of the ivy league. The thing was when he made that announcement he hadn't informed his employer or any of the other schools that he mentioned. It was an attention grab that infuriated the SEC commissioner (Slive?) and led to his departure from Vandy a little more than a year later. [/QUOTE]
