League commissioner Greg Sankey announced this week that SEC Media Days will be held in Atlanta at the College Football Hall of Fame from July 16-19, 2018.

The event, which has been held in Hoover, AL at the Wynfrey Hotel for the last 17 year will return to Hoover in 2019. Per AL.com:

quote:
"SEC Football Media Days is a signature event for our conference and we are pleased the city of Atlanta will host this kickoff to the 2018 college football season," Sankey said "SEC Football Media Days is now added to Atlanta's inventory of great events, which includes the annual SEC Football Championship Game and this season's College Football Playoff Championship Game. We are looking forward to building an exciting week next July to feature our student-athletes and coaches."

I think it’s hilarious how people think bama gets preferential treatment because of the location of the SEC office

Their success has nothing to do with their number 1 recruiting classes every year

Atlanta has the SEC championship
Nola has the Sugar Bowl tie in
Birmingham has the main office
Nashville = Media day
Houston = baseball
St. Louis = basketball

The big three plus the major events are then spread across the larger markets.

The other sports can rotate as well to further enhance the conference footprint.

For example...
Baseball - Hoover, Metairie, Houston, Charlotte and Orlando.

Having virtually everything in three cities (Atlanta, Birmingham and NOLA) tends to isolate the brand even within the region. Just my .02.
