SEC Football Division

NCAA football betting fans have loved wagering on the SEC division one conference since it was founded in 1932. As one of the older college football betting conferences, the SEC has played host to some of the most classic games in NCAA history. Here is a history of one of the most illustrious divisions in all of sports.

The SEC Conference also known as the Southeastern Conference is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. It is made up of 12 teams, and is one of the richest conferences in the NCAA. Since 1990 it has averaged an astounding six BCS games and $110.7 million in revenue distribution amongst its schools.

Moreover, the SEC was founded in December of 1932 with 13 schools from all over the Southeastern United States. Of the original 13, 10 still remain in the conference today. The 10 original members include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt State. The three former members include, Sewanee who left in 1940 and is now a division three school, Georgia Tech who is now a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference after a long hiatus from sports and Tulane, who left in 1966 and then joined the Conference USA in 1995.

In 1991, the SEC expanded from 10 to 12 members with the editions of Arkansas and South Carolina. Further, in 1992, the SEC became the first conference to ever be allowed to hold their own conference championship game. With the conference being one of the only at the time to have 12 members, two divisions were formed and the winners of each division then faced one another to determine the conference champion. Initially, the game was held at the Legions Field in Birmingham, before being moved to its current home at the Georgia Dome.
