BREAKING: J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Josh Brooks Appointed to Southeastern Conference Executive Committee…
In a major development for the University of Georgia and the Southeastern Conference (SEC), Josh Brooks, the J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics at UGA, has been officially appointed to the SEC Executive Committee. This prestigious selection places Brooks at the heart of decision-making for one of the most powerful conferences in college athletics.
Brooks, who has led Georgia’s athletic department since 2021, has quickly earned respect across the SEC and beyond for his strategic leadership, commitment to student-athletes, and success in overseeing one of the nation’s top athletic programs. Under his guidance, Georgia has continued to thrive in both athletic and academic performance, highlighted by back-to-back national championships in football, championship-level competition in other sports, and significant facility upgrades across campus.
The SEC Executive Committee is a vital governing body that helps shape policies, financial strategies, and the long-term vision of the conference. Brooks will serve alongside other university presidents and athletic directors, playing a key role in navigating challenges and opportunities in areas like media rights, NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) evolution, scheduling formats, and postseason expansion.
“This is an incredible honor and a tremendous responsibility,” Brooks said in a statement. “The SEC is the gold standard in collegiate athletics, and I’m proud to represent the University of Georgia as we work to ensure continued success and growth for all our member institutions.”
UGA President Jere Morehead praised Brooks’ appointment, calling it “a reflection of the outstanding leadership he has shown here at Georgia and the high regard in which he is held throughout the SEC.”
For Georgia fans, this move strengthens the university’s influence within the conference and positions Brooks as a key voice in shaping the future of college sports at the highest level.
With the SEC set to welcome Texas and Oklahoma in 2025, expand playoff structures, and navigate a rapidly evolving college sports landscape, Brooks’ insight and experience will be critical. This appointment isn’t just a win for Josh Brooks — it’s a proud moment for the entire Georgia Bulldog community.
