I struggled on where to put this (should it have been under Conference Realignment?) but former Great Midwest and ConferenceUSA commissioner Mike Slive has died at 77. He retired as SEC commissioner and is being hailed for all his accomplishments, but this sentence from the AP says all I need to decide how I feel about him - "Slive also played a major part in ushering in a new governance model for the NCAA in which the SEC and the other four most powerful and wealthy conferences were given autonomy to create and pass legislation."
And thereafter UC among many other fine institutions have been screwed.
