    SEC CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS 2017-2018 SECSPORTS.COM 2017-2018 SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE CONSTITUTION & BYLAWS _______________ CONSTITUTION OPERATING BYLAWS ADMINISTRATIVE BYLAWS 2201 Richard Arrington Boulevard North - Birmingham, Alabama 35203-1103 Phone (205) 458-3000 Fax (205) 458-3031 www.secsports.com Foreword This Southeastern Conference Manual was revised during the 1989-90 academic year and approved by the Conference at its May 1990 Annual Meeting. The revised format was first implemented into the 1990-91 SEC Manual and is organized, as the NCAA Manual is, into three major sections as follows: Constitution - Articles 1 through 6; Operating Bylaws - Articles 10 through 22, and Administrative Bylaws - Articles 30 through 32. The subsections of Articles 1-6 in the Constitution of the SEC Manual do not necessarily have any relation to the correspondingly numbered subsections in the NCAA Manual. In the Operating Bylaws and Administrative Bylaws of the SEC Manual, subparagraphs are numbered so that similar provisions are addressed in each manual. A particular subparagraph will appear in the SEC Manual only if the corresponding SEC provision is more restrictive than the NCAA. Thus, if no correspondingly numbered subparagraph is found in the SEC Manual, the reader should interpret the SEC provision to be identical to the NCAA. In those instances where the NCAA does not have a provision comparable to the SEC, the subparagraph is numbered considerably higher than the highest numbered subparagraph in the appropriate section of the NCAA Manual. This system will allow the NCAA to add subparagraphs in that same subsection without the SEC having to renumber all of its paragraphs in the same subsection.
