Almost 33 years after moving to Birmingham from Jackson, Miss., The SEC moved into its current headquarters on October 15, 1991. The building is now named for Roy F. Kramer, the SEC’s sixth commissioner who retired in July 2002. During his tenure as the league’s commi s ioner, the SEC won 85 national championships and distributed more than $654 million in revenue back to its member instituions. The 30,000 square-foot building was provided by the city of Birmingham. It was designed to house the SEC staff and accommodate the needs of the various committees, coaches and administrative groups that meet on a regular basis. From its headquarters, the SEC office certifies the eligibility of all student-athletes, manages championship events, enhances academic opportunities for student-athletes, monitors NCAA and SEC compliance, coordinates officiation assignments, negotiates television contracts, distributes conference revenue, cultivates corporate sponsorships and coordinates media and public relations efforts. In 2005, a state-of-the-art video command center was built inside the headquarters and named for the late Brad Davis, the SEC Associate Commissioner who was responsible for its development. Davis passed away on March 2, 2006. The building also features a rotunda that highlights school banners, championship pedestals and two galleries displaying the member institutions.
