re: What We All Knew but Never Bothered to Quantify. SECHQ Heavy on the Gumps.

Just accept the fact that the league office will have a disproportionate representation of graduates from the state where it is located.

Your logic is sound. Problem is, there are two state schools in Alabama. One of which makes up a much larger percentage of the graduates in the HQ office. If your logic held true, there would be closer to an equal amount of representation from both schools.

Wow. Cant believe I missed that point! Its so obvious too. I guess because I didnt find a single Auburn graduate so it didnt ring a bell. You know, since they hate each other. I even had a couple of Auburn fans tell me that they have been saying this for years.

This completely shuts down the argument of, "of course they are going to have more Alabama grads with the SECHQ in B-Ham". I even mentioned the two MS schools and UT being close by and not having over-representation. Auburn is the next closest Uni. Its a 2 hr drive from B-Ham and U of Alabama is 1 hr. No reason there shouldnt be at least 7-15 or so Auburn grads there since there are 9-18 from U of Alabama. I dont remember seeing 1 Auburn grad. Actually, I kind of remember 1. I would have to go back and look which I dont feel like doing. Maybe someone else can verify.

Hey ibleedprplngld, can I edit my OP to include the first paragraph of your post starting with, "Your logic..."?
