Contact: Sid Salter

鈥淎s the current president of the Southeastern Conference, it鈥檚 clear to all that our league is the constant beneficiary of Commissioner Mike Slive鈥檚 vision, wisdom, and business acumen. His leadership singularly transformed the SEC into the premier athletic conference in the NCAA. It is not hyperbole to state that no individual has had more impact on intercollegiate athletics in America over the past quarter-century than Mike Slive. On a personal level, it has been one of the great privileges of my life to have known Commissioner Slive and to have closely observed his leadership, his kindness, and his nurturing spirit. Mike鈥檚 profound influence on my life and work will abide and I remain grateful for it. My thoughts and prayers are with Liz and their wonderful family in these difficult hours.鈥
