Hate to hear that I always had a high opinion of him, prayers to his family.

 

[USSLair]

Sad to hear.

 

[ukhoops1]

He was probably the best commissioner

 

[kev69]

A great man. My thoughts and prayers to his family. He will be missed.

Rest in Peace and God Bless the Family. Very shocking news indeed. SEC was in good hands during Slive's tenure and continues on.

 

[Willy4UK]

Damn, I didn't even know he was sick

 

[Zakk Wyldcat]

Top-shelf commissioner. SEC had two great back-to-back leaders in Kramer and Slive. Such a shame that this feel-gooder, vision-less nobody Sankey is in there now.

 

[BlueSince92]

We lost a good one.

Will pray for his family.

Ugh. Hate to hear this. Great man and even greater commish.

I know what you mean. The years are starting to gain speed.

Seems unheard of these days when someone in any kind of power position gets universal praise. He actually showed the schools how to monetize sports, sure, it is now being debated if the players should share it that, but without him, there would be no insane amount of money to be had!
