For 36 years, Hudson has served the NAIA as the only commissioner in the history of the Sooner Athletic Conference (SAC). Since its founding in 1978, Hudson helped develop the constitution of the conference and has been instrumental in guiding the SAC to the prominent level that it is at today, as the SAC has raised more national championship trophies than any other conference.

Hudson has never taken a salary in his position – and has funded league initiatives out of his own pocket – symbolizing his dedication to his work and the betterment of the student-athletes.

He also is a current member of the NAIA's Conference Commissioners Association.

Prior to serving as the SAC Commissioner, Hudson played and coached basketball at Oklahoma Baptist University where he graduated in 1970 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science.

He graduated from the University of Oklahoma's School of Law in 1973 after which he served as the men's basketball coach and athletic director for two years at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (USAO).
