Former SEC commissioner Roy Kramer has died at age 96. He expanded SEC to 12 teams and created the Bowl Championship Series...
quote:
“Roy Kramer will be remembered for his resolve through challenging times, his willingness to innovate in an industry driven by tradition, and his unwavering belief in the value of student-athletes and education,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement. “His legacy is not merely in championships or commissioner’s decisions, but in a lifetime devoted to lifting student-athletes and believing in the power of sport to shape the lives of young people. Though he stepped away from formal roles years ago, the foundations he built, on campuses within the SEC and across college sports, will resonate for generations to come.”

Despite being up there in age, Kramer remained both creative and an enforcer. Whether you liked him or not, he was always thinking outside the box.

Put up a statue of him. Right outside Sankey’s office. Make him stare at it each morning and contemplate why he’s so much worse as a Commissioner than Kramer

Not only an incredible football coach, AD, and Conference Commissioner, he was also a veteran of the Korean War. RIP, Roy, you've earned it.
