The Southern Conference has named Michael “M.C.” Cross, Ph.D., its new commissioner, effective July 1. A nearly 30-year veteran of athletic administration, Cross comes to the SoCon from the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics after previous stops at Penn State, Bradley, Princeton and Michigan. Cross will be the 10th commissioner in league history and succeeds Jim Schaus, who announced in February that he will retire at the end of June after leading the league office for four years. soconsports.com/news/2023/5/30/baseball-michael-cross-named-southern-conference-commissioner.aspx

Seems to have a good pedigree. Hope his business experience is able to bring additional revenue and support to the conference and the schools. Also should be working w/members on future alignment/new schools. And of course, he should know some good field officials to improve the refereeing in football and basketball in particular.

I'm not impressed with this selection, but hoping for the best.
I hope that having no experience with southern athletics poses a problem for the conference.
