    Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics, 2019, 12, 114-132 114 © 2019 College Sport Research Institute The Fall of Sewanee from “Big-Time” College Football __________________________________________________________ Jim Watkins Mississippi State University ________________________________________________________ This article examines the role of presidential leadership in the decision of Alexander Guerry to remove the University of the South, better known as Sewanee, from the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in 1940. Only three institutions have ever left the SEC (Walsh, 2006), and Sewanee is the only former member that no longer competes in Division I (NCAA, n.d.). Historical sources for the paper include Sewanee’s university archives, as well as archival documents from other SEC institutions. The article argues that Sewanee’s chancellor, Alexander Guerry, ceased offering athletic scholarships and withdrew from the SEC because he believed subsidizing the athletic department with university resources to compete in “big-time” college football was incompatible Sewanee’s liberal arts mission. Keywords: college football, college sport history, University of the South, presidential leadership, Simon’s Incompatibility Thesis Downloaded from http://csri-jiia.org ©2019 College Sport Research Institute. All rights reserved. Not for commercial use or unauthorized distribution. Fall of Sewanee 115 T he University of the South, better known as Sewanee since the campus is located in Sewanee, Tennessee, completed one of the most dominant seasons in the history of college football during 1899 (“Sewanee Saga,” n.d.). The Sewanee Tigers won all twelve of their games and scored 327 points while only giving up ten. During the 1800s, it was not unusual for small institutions like Sewanee to compete against state flagship universities (Katz & Seifried, 2014), as could be seen from their wins over Texas, Texas A&M, Louisiana State, Tulane, and Mississippi, all over the course of seven days (“Sewanee Saga,” n.d.).
