Move the SEC office

Years ago I suggested that the 10 SEC schools that are NOT located in Alabama should ban together to force the SEC office to move from Birmingham. At the time I suggested Jackson, MS. Someone recently suggested Nashville, TN.
I say anywhere outside of Alabama would have to be an improvement.

I think this is a good idea. It would be a good PR move for the SEC. And it would be good for the SEC as a whole. If they were listening, I'd suggest a few non-SEC southern cities - like Orlando, Tampa, New Orleans, Miami, Memphis, Louisville, even Atlanta as possible relocation spots.

Any Southern city with a decent airport.
Tampa, Miami, Dallas, Nashville, Memphis, Atlanta.

If you move the office, move it to a city with no SEC school, like Atlanta. But really, the league needs to insure that (1) no official works a game in which a school he attended is playing and (2) no official works a game involving a team from the state where he lives. This would be mainly to avoid the claims of bias. Then, because fair minded people still screw up, make a point of picking only the best officials, pay them well, openly review their work game to game, and fire those that don't do a good job. With a 3 Billion dollar a year TV package, this would seem to be no real financial problem. By not doing something like this, the league seems to be admitting some sort of intent to influence games.

It's WAY past time for moving the office out of corrupt Alabama. This has been a topic of discussion for many years now and it's time for it to happen. It's the only way to begin to clean up the conference's reputation of favoritism and "paying to play." Nashville would be okay with me. I think it's about 3 hours or so from Knoxville and let's face it people, no school has the reputation for cheating more than the Alabama schools. Any city outside of Alabama would be an improvement. Vanderbilt has an excellent reputation, move it there and bring someone in to administer the conference with an impeccable reputation and no ties to the south. Refs definitely need to be handled by a national governing body where refs are rotated around the country, are paid professionals and are more accountable. The bullshite we have for refs now who consistently favor some schools is ridiculous at best and on the take at worst. Time for big change in the SEC.

I concur with this idea.

Rotate it every other year to prevent allegiances from building up in-state over time

Nashville would a good choice as it would be "associated" with Vanderbilt which doesn't have the reputation for cheating the way some schools do and the entire state of Alabama does. If we want credibility to begin to be restored in the SEC, moving the headquarters would be the first step. Next would be firing Rogers Redding and then Mike Slive - hell they can both go now!! Bring in someone from a conference with a sparkling reputation and no ties to any of the schools or the South for that matter. We then might not be the joke of the country anymore for cheating, poor officiating and the good old boy network.

I agree. However I do realize it has to be somewhere but ANYWHERE other than the demo of the most cheating college in the history of colleg football, would be better. Just sayin.
Its like having marriage counselors in Vegas.
