6 2007 SEC Football Page 7 Post-Season Bowls THE OBJECTIVE To allow for specific types of officiating calls to be immediately reviewed during all games hosted by SEC teams. THE COACHES CHALLENGE Each head coach is allowed one Instant Replay challenge per game, which is exercised by requesting a team timeout. A head coach may issue a challenge only if his team has one or more timeouts remaining in the half. If the challenged ruling is overturned, the timeout is not charged, but the coach has no more challenges during that game. THE SOURCE All reviewable video comes direct from either the television network broadcasting the game (CBS Sports, ESPN, ESPN2, Lincoln Financial) or other TV production facilities that meet established conference standards. The Southeastern Conference, following approval by the NCAA Football Rules Committee, will implement the use of video reply on an experimental basis beginning with the 2005 football season. THE PLAYS Reviewable 1. Plays governed by Sideline, Goal Line, End Zone, and End Line: a. Scoring Plays, including a runner breaking the plane of the goal line b. Pass complete/incomplete/intercepted at sideline, goal line and end line c. Runner/receiver in or out of bounds d. Recovery of loose ball in and out of bounds 2. Passing Plays: a. Pass ruled complete/ incomplete/ intercepted in the field of play and end zones b. Touching of a forward pass by an ineligible receiver c. Touching of a forward pass by a defensive player d. Quarterback (Passer) forward pass or fumble (if ruled incomplete, play is finalized) e. Illegal forward pass or illegal handing off beyond the line of scrimmage f. Illegal forward pass or illegal handing off after change of possession g. Forward or backward pass thrown from behind the line of scrimmage 3. Other Detectable Infractions: a. Runner ruled not down. b. Forward progress with respect to first down c. Touching of a kick d. Number of players on field e. Clock adjustments (in conjunction with overturned plays) f. Fourth-down/try fumble plays Not Reviewable 1. Fighting participants 7. Face mask 2. Off-sides/Encroachment 8. Taunting 3. Pass interference 9. Illegal blocks 4. Roughing passer/kicker 10. Holding 5. Illegal formations 11. Personal fouls 6. Taunting/excessive celebrations THE PROCESS Each SEC football stadium has a secured replay booth equipped with a DVSport Digital Replay System. Three individuals work in the booth for the duration of the game: 1. Replay Official, 2. Communicator, 3. Technician. The Replay Official is selected and assigned by the Conference Office. A live video feed is sent directly to the replay booth. The Technician watches the feed on an input monitor while capturing/digitizing it into the DVSport Digital Replay System. The Technician also marks the beginning of each play as well as any replays as they occur in real time. Each play and subsequent replay then appears on a touch screen in front of the Communicator. As the Technician marks the incoming video, each view (by mark) will appear as a small picture on the computer touch screen. At any time, the Communicator can touch/click on a thumbnail and immediately send that play/replay to the Replay Official. SEC FOOTBALL VIDEO REPLAY With the Communicator s assistance, the Replay Official can quickly jump between replays while playing back the video. All replay video navigation is done via a remote device controlled by the Replay Official. All replays/video are viewed on an output monitor. The touch screen is only used to select the replays. While most plays are reviewed between the whistle and the beginning of the next play, the Replay Official can stop play on the field by using a pager system. Five onfield officials wear pagers. If play is stopped the Referee announces on the stadium PA microphone that play has been stopped so the previous play can be reviewed. The Referee then proceeds to the sideline headset, which provides direct communication to the Replay Official in the booth. Once the play has been reviewed, the Replay Official notifies the Referee, who then announces the decision on the stadium PA system. THE EQUIPMENT Each SEC member institution uses the Digital Replay System developed by DVSport of Pittsburgh, Pa. The replay systems are maintained by the home institution with technical support from DVSport.

10 2007 SEC Football Page 11 Post-Season Bowls SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE BOWLS NINE SEC TEAMS TO PLAY IN POST-SEASON BOWLS Nine Southeastern Conference teams, tied for the most in league history, will play in post-season bowls this season. The most bowl teams for the SEC in its history in one season prior to 2007 was nine, which was during the 2000 and 2006 seasons. In eight other seasons, the SEC has had eight bowl teams, the latest coming in The SEC had 10 bowl-eligible teams this season, the most in its history. Since conference expansion in 1992, the SEC has had seven bowl-eligible teams that did not play in a post-season bowl (Arkansas, Ole Miss), 1994 (Georgia), 1996 (South Carolina), 1997 (Miss. State), 2001 (Ole Miss) and 2004 (South Carolina - pulled itself out of post-season bowl opportunity). While six wins is the basic eligibility to participate in post-season bowl games, NCAA rules state that a deserving winning team be eligible for bowl-season play. The SEC has agreements to send eight of its teams to post-season bowls. NCAA Rule states, A contest (bowl game) shall be licensed only if it serves the purpose of providing a national contest between deserving winning teams. A deserving winning team shall be defined as wone that has won a minimum of six games against football bowl subdivision opponents and that has more wins than losses. Exceptions to NCAA Rule exist. Those are: An institution with a record of six wins and six losses may be selected for participation in a bowl game under the following circumstances: (a) The institution or its conference has a primary contractual affiliation, which existed prior to the first contest of the applicable season, with the sponsoring bowl organization. In the case of a conference contractual affiliation, all conference teams with winning records must be placed in one of the contracted bowl games before any institution with a record of six wins and six losses may be placed in a contracted bowl game. There shall be no contingency agreements with other sponsoring bowl organizations intended to enable an institution with a record of six wins and six losses to become eligible for those contests; or (b) All contractual affiliations per Bylaw (a) have been fulfilled and all institutions with winning records Exception Football Bowl Subdivision Opponent. [FBS] Each year, a football bowl subdivision institution may count one victory against a football championship subdivision opponent toward the six-win minimum, provided the opponent has averaged 90 percent of the permissible maximum number of grants-inaid per year in football over a rolling two-year period Waiver. [FBS] The Football Issues Committee may approve a waiver of the 90 percent requirement to permit a football bowl subdivision institution to count a victory against a football championship subdivision opponent in football toward meeting the six-victory requirement when a unique or catastrophic situation affects the Division I-AA institution s ability to average 90 percent of the permissible maximum number of grants-in-aid per year in Division I-AA football over a rolling twoyear period. SEC BOWL AGREEMENTS The Southeastern Conference has agreements to send eight of its member institutions to postseason bowl games following the 2007 season. The winner of the SEC Championship Game will automatically participate in the Bowl Championship Series comprised of the Sugar, Rose, Orange and Fiesta Bowls. The Capital One (2nd), will then make its pick following the BCS selections. The bowl must select the team with the next best overall record or a team that is within one win of the team with the next best overall record. The Outback, Chick-fil-A and AT&T Cotton Bowls will work with the conference office to determine picks 3-5. The Cotton Bowl has the first preference of teams from the Western Division and the Outback Bowl has first preference of teams from the Eastern Division. The Cotton or Outback Bowl can select teams outside of its divisional preference, but must not select them before the opposite bowl selects from its divisional preference. The Chick-fil-A Bowl has the selection of preference following the Cotton and Outback Bowls. In selections 6-7, the AutoZone Liberty and Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowls will make their selections, not in any specific order, but in consultation with the SEC Office.

26 2007 SEC Football Page 27 Post-Season Bowls COLLEGE BOWL GAMES... WHERE EVERYONE WINS Bowl Games have been a part of college football for about 100 years. They have provided some of the greatest moments in college football history and add to the pageantry, color and excitement of the game. This season twenty-seven communities throughout the U.S. and Canada will host thirty-two post-season college football bowl games where some 6,400 student-athletes, 12,900 college band members, 1,200 cheerleaders, up to 100,000 additional performers and about 1.7 million fans will take part in the college bowl experience. In fact, 53% of Division I-A teams will participate in this unique post-season experience, more than any other major NCAA sport. The top two teams in the Bowl Championship Series rankings will square-off in the BCS National Championship Game in New Orleans, LA. However, thirty-two teams will become bowl champions and more than 100 division I schools will share to some extent in the revenues generated by the current bowl system. A lot of people came to town, soaked up some sun, ate some good food, had a ball. At the end of it all they play a football game and somebody wins. Actually, everybody wins. Imagine that. Joe Henderson, The Tampa Tribune Institutions Win College bowls will pay out a projected $220 million this season to NCAA schools. More than $1.6 billion has been paid out in just the past nine years and the bowls will conservatively pay out more than $2.4 billion over the next decade. Almost all bowl games are non-profit organizations. The more revenue the bowl generates through ticket sales, sponsors, etc. the more money can be paid to institutions of higher education. The excitement and visibility created by participating in a bowl game can generate increased donations, increases in licensing revenues, TV contracts, season ticket sales and other long term revenue streams. Twenty seven communities hosting bowl games provide stability, funding and an unparalleled commitment to a quality experience to the teams and their fans. The BCS also contributes millions of dollars in funding each year to non-bcs conferences and institutions in Division I-A and I-AA, the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. The Fans Win Communities Win College bowls generate an estimated $1.3 million worth of economic impact for their host communities each year. This does not even count the vast exposure that showcases these communities. Bowls are a tremendous source of pride for these communities as typically hundreds of local residents are involved as volunteers on various committees. Bowls benefit not only NCAA institutions but local causes and charities. Many bowls contribute in excess of $100,000 annually to charitable causes and/or provide programs such as camps for disadvantaged youth. You can t buy this kind of publicity. Wit Tuttell, St Petersburg/Clearwater CVB The economic impact that these games and the Fiesta Bowl Festival bring to our state is remarkable, but even more important is the hundreds of thousands of visitors and our own citizens who will always carry warm memories of these events in Arizona. -- Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano Student-Athletes Win Players take part in many diverse experiences and see may sights during their bowl trips. Players in Tampa visit the beaches and Busch Gardens theme park. In San Diego they have lunch on an aircraft carrier. Players visit the Alamo in San Antonio, tour historic Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Disney Theme Parks in Orlando, go snowmobiling in Boise, experience a luau and Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and much more. Every bowl game is a meaningful experience for student-athletes. It s what it should be. And at the end of the year you don t say only one team feels good about itself. -- Dr. John Peterson, President, University of Tennessee At some point you have to put the welfare of the players first. That should be our guiding light on all of our thinking. If we go down the playoff road, then we're not thinking that way. We're appeasing someone else, not the players."-- Iowa Head coach Kirk Ferentz Bowl Games are expected to attract more than 1.7 million fans this year. Stadiums at last year s bowls were filled to an average 87% of capacity. For the twenty bowls that have been in existence for at least eight years, last years attendance was 97 % of stadium capacity. The combined TV audience for last year s bowls was an average of 134 million households. The Regular Season Wins I think college football has the most exciting regular season of any sport because there is not a playoff system. The whole season is a playoff system. -- Georgia Coach Mark Richt. Bowl games bring a measure of importance to the regular season not seen in other sports. No other intercollegiate sport plays as few regular season games as football and every game means something. The top teams don t just play for seeds or to get into a post-season tournament, the road to the National Championship begins with the season s first game and continues every week of the season. The beauty of the current system is that every time a team takes the field, its national title hopes are at stake.

The SEC s mission statement reflects the priorities of the league. The purpose of the Southeastern Conference is to assist its member institutions in the maintenance of programs of intercollegiate athletics which are compatible with the highest standards of education and competitive sports. ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS During the last five years, the SEC has had more student-athletes honored as CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans than any other conference. The league has had 171 student-athletes named CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All- Americans, including 79 named to the first-team. During the last eleven years, the SEC has had 19 winners of the NCAA Today's Top VIII Award, which is given annually to eight outstanding senior student-athletes. Since 1997, no other conference has had as many student-athletes honored with this prestigious award. In 2006, Alabama track & field athlete Beth Mallory was named a recipient of this award. Kentucky s Jacob Tamme was named by the National Football Foundation as a National Scholar-Athlete. During the last six years, the SEC has had 12 student-athletes honored, the most of any conference. LSU s Rudy Niswanger won the Vincent depaul Draddy Award given by the National Football Foundation in 2005 as the nation s top football scholar-athlete. Niswanger became the sixth SEC student-athlete to claim the Academic Heisman since the award was established in FOR THE STUDENT-ATHLETE The 12 member institutions of the SEC provide nearly $65 million in scholarships for the more than 4,200 student-athletes each year. The SEC distributed nearly $675,000 during the academic year from the NCAA Special Assistance Fund for Student-Athletes. This program was implemented to provide financial aid to student-athletes with specific needs such as clothing and shoes, medical or vision care, academic course supplies and family emergencies. During the academic year, the SEC will distribute more than $1 million to directly benefit student-athletes from the Student-Athlete Opportunity Fund. The SEC awards post-graduate scholarships totaling $130,000 to 24 student-athletes each year. The top male and female nominee each receive the H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Award, named for the league's fourth commissioner, and a $10,000 scholarship. Last year, 22 additional student-athletes (11 female and 11 male) received $5,000 to continue their education. Alabama baseball player Emeel Salem and Vanderbilt track & field athlete Erika Schneble were named McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Award winners in The SEC has established a Community Service Award to honor a male and female student-athlete with a $5,000 scholarship for outstanding service in the community. Tennessee swimmer Brad Boswell and Florida softball player Stacey Stevens were named recipients of this award in A LEADER IN WOMEN S SPORTS The SEC has developed a "Principles for Gender Equity," which, calls for each league school to provide equitable funding for women's sports, promotions and marketing and other support services. The SEC currently conducts championships in 11 women's sports and nine men's sports. The SEC had four sport winners of the Collegiate Woman of the Year Award sponsored by Honda. Tennessee s Candace Parker won for women s basketball, Courtney Kupets of Georgia took top honors in gymnastics, Georgia s Kara Lynn Joyce won in Swimming & Diving and Tennessee s Monica Abbott was the top athlete in softball. Since 1987, SEC schools have won 66 NCAA women s national championships, an average of more than three per year in the 11 women s sports the SEC sponsors. Nine of the 12 SEC institutions have won a national women s team championship since COMPLIANCE AND EDUCATION The SEC Task Force Committee on Compliance and Enforcement has issued a report of recommendations that represents an important initial step in a formal process of establishing a new standard of compliance excellence within the Southeastern Conference. Among the recommendations included in this report was how institutions will handle reports of allegations, strengthening the relationship between the league s institutions and the conference office, developing new orientation programs and establishing an annual review of compliance issues. The SEC also conducts a New Coaches Orientation Program four times a year, which supplements institutional orientation programs and enhance the professional development of coaches. Topics of discussion range from the role of the SEC and NCAA to the role of athletics in higher education. SPORTSMANSHIP The SEC has developed a sportsmanship statement for its institutions to follow. It states: Coaches and student-athletes of a member insititution, as well as individuals employed by or associated with that institution, including alumni, fans, patrons and boosters, shall conduct themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their behavior shall at all times reflect the high standards of honor and dignity that characterize participation in the collegiate setting. For intercollegiate athletics to promote the character development of participants, to enhance the integrity of higher education and to promote civility in society, coaches, student-athletes and all others associated with these athletics programs and events should adhere to such fundamental values as respect, fairness, civility, honesty and responsibility. These values should be manifested not only in athletics participation but also in the broad spectrum of activities affecting the athletics program. It is the responsibility of each member institution to establish policies for sportsmanship and ethical conduct in intercollegiate athletics consistent with the educational mission and goals of the institution. Furthermore, member institutions are responsible for educating on a continuing basis all constituencies about these policies. IN THE COMMUNITY The SEC launched its education initiative in 2002, utilizing the platform of intercollegiate athletics to provide elementary school teachers with relevant resources they can use to educate and prepare children for life. The SEC became the nation s first conference to develop customized educational software, providing a CD-ROM containing SECbranded content correlating to national educational standards. Since the CD-ROM was produced, the SEC has initiated oan online program for K-8 students on education content and character development. SECkids.com is a website uniquely designed for school-age students. Now fans of all ages can access exciting, interactive and educational information on the SEC and its universities. SECkids.com features exclusive behind-the-scenes access at championship events, profiles of student-athletes and coaches, along with games and video highlights. Teachers can also register online to utilize the SEC Kids s college software in their classroom. The SEC is the only conference in the country to develop a site of this kind.
