Oh wait... no, no it hasn't. The SEC is doing pretty damn good
this sounds like the argument the SEC has for keeping the baseball tournament at the Hoover Met. Just because it's done fine one place, doesn't mean it couldn't be better in another.

You've got it all wrong. Pantybra City is the Redneck Riviera.

I would say movie it to Somalia, but there isn't a vast difference between Somalia and Birmingham.

Atlanta or Nashville FFS. We've got a 650 million dollar TV network, let's put it somewhere people may actually go and that has sufficient business importance to support and promote it.
The SEC Network is based in Charlotte, not Birmingham

Yep, the SEC has done well in spite of Bham.

nah I know it very well, the entire fla panhandle is the redneck riviera.
and I know how we'll fix the SEC Network in Charlotte, we're not gonna move it, we're gonna move the SEC to N.C.
Mike Slive has me on speed dial.

Where the SEC is HQed has zero impact other than providing a conspiracy theory to explain why Bama is such a dominant program unless Bama is not being a dominant program in which case the conspiracy is turned off and its just because Bama sucks

Charlotte- Neutral site where the SECN is going to be

does anybody really GAF?
FWIW - there is not a nickel's worth of difference between Bham & ATL, except for population.
Same city
Same demographics
I grew up in ATL and live in Bham

ATL or Nashville
or NOLA
or NOLA

I vote Nashville. ATL is just a big ole concrete slab with an airport.
Nashville has more character and would actually care that the SEC was there. Plus, all those country music stars would like the SEC being there. And Jack White and his new Nash people would make the SEC cool to the alt folks. Nashville is the new cool in the southeast. So its either there or Destin. I can go with either

And Birmingham is perfect for the SEC main office. Is what it is.

Nashville is trying to become a mini-Atlanta. Other than the country music scene, it has no more innate character than Atlanta does. It's just smaller.

I'd say Nashville, Houston, Atlanta, Bham in that order.

LOL at people calling Bham a decaying sh##hole. The downtown area has been making a steady and obvious comeback in recent years and the metro area other than a few of the northern and western burbs is actually quite nice. The league has a very long and prosperous 65 year history in Bham.
Having said all that, I like rootisback's suggestion of either Destin or Nashville. Destin would be a slam dunk if it had reliable and convenient air service nearby. Realistically, it probably should be in Nashville. Great city that is equally as centrally located as Birmingham. An SEC melton pot city with more soul than Atlanta that would appreciate having the SEC more than Atlanta. Atlanta is just as loyal to the ACC as the SEC and has even lobbied to host the ACC title game. I predict you would see a heavy shift of emphasis and favoritism from the conference as a whole you now see in Bham and would still see in Nashville to a heavy emphasis on the SEC East if the headquarters moved to Atlanta which is one reason it would kinda suck if the headquarters was in Atlanta.
