The Commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, Greg Sankey, announced yesterday that University of Georgia President Jere W. Morehead has been reappointed president of the Southeastern Conference for another year.
As president, Morehead will chair the SEC’s Executive Committee, a seven-member panel that approves the SEC operating budget and oversees the conference’s fiscal affairs, among other duties.
In August 2020, Morehead was appointed to the NCAA Board of Governors and Division 1 Board of Directors. The NCAA Board of Governors is the highest governance body in the NCAA, tasked with overseeing association-wide issues and ensuring that each division operates in accordance with NCAA policies and principles. The Division 1 Board of Directors, meanwhile, is responsible for overseeing strategy and policy, as well as management of the division. Last August, Morehead was elected as its chair.
