South Carolina athletics director Ray Tanner was one of nine administrators selected to be a part of the new Southeastern Conference Working Group on Compliance, Enforcement and Governance, the league announced on Monday.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey first mentioned during SEC Media Days last year that he was going to form a group of campus leaders to review and discuss NCAA issues. The committee, according to the above release, will develop new strategies for renewing and strengthening the Conference-wide commitment to NCAA compliance while continuing to fulfill the Conference competitive objectives.

The group will review the updated enforcement model, which is expected to include dialogue with the NCAA Vice President for Enforcement; establish best practices for enforcement within the SEC; and update minimum penalties established by the Conference for certain Level III and Level IV rules violations.

Tanner is one of nine administrators on the committee but is one of just two Directors of Athletics. Tanner is also in his first year on the 10-man NCAA Division I baseball committee tasked with selecting the field for the NCAA Tournament.
