Two Rebels Travel to SEC Headquarters for Meetings This Weekend
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference Men's and Women's Basketball Leadership Council will convene for its annual meeting at SEC headquarters in Birmingham Friday and Saturday. Representing the Rebels will be Mimi Reid of the women's team and Breein Tyree from the men's team.
The council consists of one male representative and one female representative from each of the SEC's 14 institutions. The goal of the Leadership Council is for student-athletes to serve as a conduit of communication from their teams to the conference office on issues related to student-athlete experience, student-athlete wellness, and to provide feedback on proposed rules governing the SEC and NCAA.
Tyree is the Chair of the SEC Men's Basketball Leadership Council for the second consecutive year, providing veteran leadership entering his senior campaign. The Somerset, New Jersey, native earned First Team All-SEC accolades a season ago, averaging 17.9 ppg to become the SEC's leading returning scorer heading into the 2019-20 season. As a sophomore, he served as the council's vice-chair.
Reid joins the council this year, following Tyree's footsteps by taking on the leadership role as a sophomore. On the court last season, she was named SEC Freshman of the Week twice. The Bronx, New York, native dished out a team-high 4.3 assists per game, which ranked sixth overall in the SEC and first among conference freshmen.
Among the agenda items for the group is dinner and a conversation with Commissioner Greg Sankey, a review of NCAA and SEC legislative items, and the 28 student-athletes will also have an opportunity to engage with men's and women's basketball officials on rules of the game, student-athlete/referee interaction and careers in officiating. Keyon Dooling, former Missouri student-athlete, author, motivational speaker and former NBA player, will speak to the group on Saturday on the topic of mental wellness.
The Men's Basketball Leadership Council and the Women's Basketball Leadership Council comprise two components of the SEC Student-Athlete Leadership Council. The third component is the Football Leadership Council, which meets each January.
