If you made me the national commissioner of football, I'd tell you one thing that I would mandate. The second Saturday in September, we're going to have conference day. Everybody from the SEC plays a Big 12 team. Everybody from the Big Ten is going to play the ACC. Everybody from the Big East is going to play the Pac-10.Lou Holtz

While the DOJ and the SEC must be vigilant in investigating and prosecuting white-collar misconduct, we must also ensure that we are acting fairly and prudently.William Barr

I would say from top to bottom, the SEC is strongest. Every now and then, another conference is going to have a great number one team. But week in and week out, having to play a really tough schedule that's preparing you for the postÂseason, there's no better conference than the SEC.Maria Taylor

The SEC is a line-of-scrimmage league. You'd better be good up front, or you're going to have some long days.Will Muschamp

When the Securities & Exchange Commission settled securities-fraud charges against Richard Harriton, former chairman of the clearing subsidiary of Bear, Stearns & Co., there were smiles all around. The SEC was happy. Harriton was happy. Bear Stearns was happy.Gary Weiss

I think most of the ICOs you're seeing are not real token use cases. They're really securities, so I think the SEC should regulate that.Brad Garlinghouse

Football is football; I don't care if you're doing it in Division II, NAIA, or in the SEC or anything in between.Carson Wentz

When the SEC needs to be deterring corporate wrongdoing, the 'penalty pilot' program sends the wrong message.Mary Schapiro

There are regulators at the SEC and elsewhere who are really excited about the potential of the blockchain. They understand you can build a robust financial system - it would solve all your black swan problems. All kinds of mischief and games that are played in the current system become impossible in this system.Patrick M. Byrne

Under the Dodd-Frank law, the SEC got the lion's share of the rules to write, more than 100 rules, and we have done an extraordinary amount of that. Eighty percent have been either proposed or adopted. So, a lot, a lot accomplished but of course, more to do.Mary Schapiro
Copy
The DOJ has long considered the SEC an indispensable partner in protecting markets and investors, promoting lawful commerce around the world, and deterring misconduct.William Barr
Copy
The SEC has actually progressively loosened up the rules and recognized the value of social media, but the goal is always going to be to get information out as broadly as possible as quickly as possible.Mary Schapiro

I'm jumping on a trend to try to engage my younger constituents. They need to know that a lot of what's happening now will impact their futures. If taking a 'selfie' with the chair of the SEC, Steny Hoyer, or Alzheimer's research advocates, gets their attention, then it's worth it. Plus, it's fun.Sean Duffy

I think players in our league can come from all different shapes and sizes when it comes to school size. They come from the East Coast, the West Coast. There's more that come from the bigger schools than the smaller schools. There's more that come from the SEC than some small conferences. That's just statistically fact.Sean Payton
Copy
A lot of people think our standard is to be first in the SEC, be first in the country, first in our red zone, and run defense. We really don't go by that motto. We go by, 'Be the best Alabama defense there's been.'Kirby Smart

If you chart SEC champions over a 20-year period, the one consistent thing to me is you're not going to win if you don't have a quarterback. It's too critical of a position. He decides something every play.Kirby Smart

What I have found is the same people who are interested in Texas and Oklahoma going to the SEC on Outkick are also interested in, you know, COVID policy or presidential elections.Clay Travis

There needs to be somebody that looks out for what's best for the game, not what's best for the Big 10 or what's best for the SEC or what's best for Jim Harbaugh, but what's best for the game of college football - the integrity of the game, the coaches, the players, and the people that play it.Nick Saban
Copy
The SEC got more than 100 rules to write under Dodd-Frank, the lion's share of all the agencies. And we've moved, I think, with a tremendous sense of urgency. But it takes a long time to write rules and get them approved by a five-member commission.Mary Schapiro

If you want to fight the evil you see in finance and industry, get to work reading the corporate filings, see if there has been fraud, and where you find it, report it to the SEC or write about it or blog about it.Ben Stein

I started my career in the private sector and then became U.S. attorney. I think I was a stronger U.S. attorney, and I frankly think I am a stronger Chair of the SEC, because of that experience.Mary Jo White

The Government Securities Act gave the Treasury Department some rulemaking authority over all government securities brokers and dealers. But the act also required these firms to register with the SEC.Jerome Powell

To be able to bring an entire city together is not easy, and we definitely have one thing in common in the city - that's the Tigers. The history of the school is well-noted around town. It is an SEC kind of country with all the SEC schools, but Memphis trumps all of that in the city. I embrace that.Penny Hardaway

Either Mitt Romney through his own words and his own signature was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the SEC, which is a felony, or he was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the American people.Stephanie Cutter

It has been an incredibly rewarding experience to work with so many dedicated SEC staff who strive every day to protect investors and ensure our markets operate with integrity.Mary Schapiro
Copy
I think what I brought from the private sector was a real appreciation of how much leverage - respect, if you will - that the SEC has. Major companies, in particular, really don't want to be at war with their primary regulator. The SEC may not have appreciated just how great our leverage is.Mary Jo White

I always felt like, one of the niches is if you can recruit the SEC, you can be a head coach in the SEC.Kirby Smart

I can tell you this: we at the Big Ten don't want to be like the SEC - in any way, shape or form.Bret Bielema

There's already an IRS - why didn't the IRS get him for tax fraud? There's already an SEC and whoever else, why didn't they get Manafort for his bank fraud or the FBI? We already have agencies who are supposed to investigate this stuff. Why do we need a special prosecutor to investigate tax fraud? We don't.Jimmy Dore

I've got great respect for all the teams in the SEC as well as the Big 12, the Big Ten, on and on.Bob Stoops

I have very little respect for the integrity of the trading on the exchange in most stocks. And I have particular disdain for the fact that the SEC has failed to deal with high-frequency traders who are doing nothing more than taking advantage of inside information, a buy or a sell order, because of technology advantages.Steve Wynn

A dramatic spending increase to fund the SEC and the CFTC, as envisioned by the authors of the Dodd-Frank legislation, would further the mindset that our nation's problems can be solved with more spending, not more efficiency.Scott Garrett

Our coaches want to be a part of South Carolina football when they win it for the first time. When they win the division, when they win the SEC, win a major bowl game, etc. The opportunities to do it all for the first time here make it extra special.Steve Spurrier

The SEC and CFTC are expert agencies blessed with immensely capable professionals. Judges value and defer to that expertise - when it's exercised to make the hard decisions that Congress entrusts to an agency.Eugene Scalia

It's one thing to be a cynic or an opponent of Jim Harbaugh if you're a fan of Ohio State or Michigan State or Penn State or an SEC school.Kirk Herbstreit

We're going to try and prove to the market that you can do a legal coin offering. If the SEC doesn't crack down, this party will be amazing - the biggest party in town for a long time. If they do crack down, a lot of people are going to feel a lot of pain.Naval Ravikant

Why should the court impose a judgment in a case in which the SEC alleges a serious securities fraud, but the defendant neither admits nor denies wrongdoing?Jed S. Rakoff

What I don't like - and I'm concerned about - as a Houstonian is that the SEC is starting to own Houston... There's more talk about the SEC than there is the Big 12.Tilman J. Fertitta
