After watching the Super Bowl halftime show, its obvious the SEC is depriving itself by not hosting a championship game in New Orleans.


Not just New Orleans, but with the recent westward expansion Houston, Dallas, St. Louis, and Kansas City should figure into the rotation. This isn't about what a few schools want, but a decision that should benefit the conference as a whole.

The SEC is leaving a lot of money on the table by not opening up the SECG location for bids. Money that could go into the coffers of YOUR school. There's a reason the NFL bids out the Super Bowl locations. Because it makes more money that way. The SECG could and should be making a lot more money for the conference as a whole. Not to mention, giving the fans of the schools involved a different location to travel to.

Nothing against Atlanta, but fair is fair. Other major cities in other SEC states deserve a shot at hosting the biggest game in NCAA football.

Haha, you say it shouldn't benefit just a few schools and you pick cities that are on the extreme borders of sec territory.

Atlanta is fine. Yes I'm biased but its clearly the best option to be fair to the majority and it wouldn't be good for the sec to have a half full game in Kansas City or Dallas.
