SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE
SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE Throughout the history of men’s college basketball, the Southeastern Conference has captured 11 NCAA Championships and four NIT titles, cementing the SEC as one of the nation’s top basketball conferences. During the 2006-07 academic year, the SEC became the first conference to win the Division I National Championship in Football (Florida), Men’s Basketball (Florida) and Mike Slive Women’s Basketball (Tennessee) in the same SEC Commissioner school year. Only the SEC and the Big East have ever won both the men’s and women’s basketball titles in one season. SEC won both three times in 1996, 1998 and 2007. The Big East has won both twice in 2003 and 2004. The SEC swept both the NIT and NCAA Tournaments in 2006 when Florida won its first NCAA championship and South Carolina earned its second straight NIT title. Only four conferences have won both the NIT and NCAA title, including the Big East (2003), ACC (1992) and Big Ten (1979). The SEC was 12-3 (.800) in the 2014 NCAA Tournament and 17-8 (.680) overall in postseason action. The SEC’s 12 NCAA Tournament wins were the most of any conference (Big Ten 10, American 9). The SEC won 80 percent (12-3) of its 2014 NCAA Tournament games, the best percentage of any conference. The SEC has won three of the last nine NCAA titles (2006-Florida, 2007-Florida, 2012 Kentucky). No other conference has won more than two NCAA titles during that stretch. Since 1993, the SEC has won six men’s basketball national championships – Arkansas (1994), Kentucky (1996), Kentucky (1998), Florida (2006), Florida (2007) and Kentucky (2012). Only the ACC (6) has won as many men’s basketball titles during this time. The SEC has won 11 NCAA men’s basketball tournament titles with Kentucky claiming eight (1948, 1949, 1951, 1958, 1978, 1996, 1998 and 2012). Florida has two (2006, 2007) and Arkansas has one (1994). Florida and Kentucky advanced to the 2014 Final Four, and Tennessee made it to the Sweet Sixteen. It was the first time since 2006 (Florida and LSU) that the SEC has had two teams in the Final Four. It is the fourth time that two SEC teams advanced to the Final Four (1994, 1996, 2006). It marked the most SEC teams in the Sweet Sixteen since 2007 when three teams (UF, UT, VU) advanced to the Regional Semifinals. It also was the sixth time in the last nine years that multiple SEC teams have reached the Sweet Sixteen. Every SEC team that made a postseason appearance in 2014 won at least one game. The SEC has had at least one team advance to the Sweet Sixteen in 24 of the last 25 years. Eleven of the SEC’s 12 members have advanced to the Sweet Sixteen since 1996. Every team in the SEC has made at least one NCAA Tournament appearance in the last 11 editions of the “Big Dance.” The SEC has won at least 65 percent of its non-conference games since the league expanded to 12 teams in 1991-92 (now 14 teams). Over the last seven NBA Drafts, 48 SEC players have heard their names called. Twenty-two of those were selected in the first round, and two were the No. 1 overall pick. The SEC is 53-27 (66.3 percent) in the second (formerly the first) round of the NCAA Tournament over the last 16 tournaments (since 1999). In 1999, the SEC won each of its six firstround games, becoming the first conference to have six teams win their first-round games in the same season. The SEC Network airs SEC content 24/7, including 100 men’s basketball games. Programming also includes studio shows and original content such as the “SEC Storied” series.

UT ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Compliance with NCAA rules is one of the highest priorities for the University of Tennessee and our athletics department. As a member of the NCAA, the University of Tennessee is responsible for the actions of its boosters and fans. Even the best intentions may violate NCAA rules. We need your help in observing all SEC and NCAA regulations. Boosters and fans must be careful of their interaction with prospective and current student-athletes. Therefore, we encourage our boosters and fans to “Ask Before You Act” by contacting the Compliance Office at 865-974-3871.
REPRESENTATIVES OF ATHLETICS INTERESTS, “BOOSTERS”
There are many ways an individual can be classified as a representative of Tennessee’s athletics interests. You are a “representative of The University of Tennessee’s athletics interests,” if you have been involved in a booster club, made financial contributions to the athletics program or booster organizations, provided benefits to an enrolled student-athlete, assisted in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes, or been involved in the promotion of UT athletics. Please note that once you have been identified as a representative of University of Tennessee athletics interests, you retain that identity indefinitely.
RECRUITING, EXTRA BENEFITS AND INDUCEMENTS
Only coaches and athletics department staff members can be involved in the recruiting process. All “athletics representatives” who are not employees of UT are prohibited from contacting a prospect by telephone, letter or in-person, on- or off-campus, for the purpose of encouraging participation in athletics at UT. It is not permissible for prospects, studentathletes or their relatives and friends to receive any extra benefits or special arrangements from a booster. Extra benefits include, but are not limited to: cash or loans in any amount; co-signing or arranging a loan; providing gifts of any kind (e.g. clothing, airline tickets, or holiday cards); providing special discounts for goods and services; use of an automobile. If you are an established friend or neighbor of a prospect, you may have contact with the prospect provided you do not try to recruit the prospect on behalf of UT, and that such contacts are not made at the direction of UT’s coaching staff. Please note that a prospect is a person who has started classes for the ninth grade.
EMPLOYMENT
The Compliance Office must keep written records verifying all student-athlete employment. NCAA rules stipulate that compensation may be paid to a student-athlete only for work actually performed and at a rate commensurate with the going rate in that locality for similar service. NCAA rules also prohibit employers from using the name or picture of a student-athlete to directly or indirectly advertise, recommend or promote the sale or use of a commercial product or service of any kind. Do not provide an honorarium to a studentathlete for a speaking engagement. Compensation may not include any remuneration for value or utility that the student-athlete may have for the employer because of publicity, reputation, fame or personal following that he or she has obtained because of athletics ability.
