The Southeastern Conference, established in 1932, housed its first corporate office on the 13th floor of the Standard Life building. The league's first commissioner was former Mississippi Governor Mike S. Conner. The office was in Jackson from 1940 to 1948, when the headquarters moved to Birmingham, Alabama. Before 1940, the SEC had no central office or commissioner. Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi were among the thirteen charter members of the SEC.
