Is the SEC Office Really Full of Bama Grads/Fans?

Serious question.
I see this asserted a lot and have believed it. But, I just started thinking about it after reading another thread and suddenly wondered if it was even true.
Are there more Bama grads/fans in the SEC office in decision making positions than people from other schools? Is this true?
If so, how does it affect the SEC?
If the SEC office was in Atlanta, you might have more Georgia fans, so not saying there is much that could done about it. Just wondering if this were indeed true - or just an internet rumor.

I've heard the SEC office is full of Updykes.

No. I never have. I've never complained about LSU's schedule either until today when I thought about it a little more. I don't care who LSU plays. Just beat them all.
But, is it true or not? Like I said, I assumed it was. But, if it isn't, then I want to know.

So, no one knows? I am not asking about opinions. Just, is the SEC Office full of Bama grads or not? Are there more Bama grads/fans there than reps from other schools?

What is even slightly intelligent about believing stuff just because someone else says it?
Mike Slive went to Dartmouth and then to UVA for law school and then to Georgetown for his LLM. He grew up in New York.
I'm sure you can google to find the rest on your own.

What is your problem? Get off your high horse and stop being so defensive just because "Alabama" was mentioned in a post.
It is a value neutral question that is relatively easily answered by anyone who actually knows. Obviously, you aren't one of those people. Looking up Slive isn't difficult and I knew that he wasn't affiliated with Alabama.
Just wanting the facts.

Because if its posted on the internet it must be true, right?
A lot of jealous, sore loser LSU fans make this claim all over the place but its not true.

so an accountant at the SEC office may have gone to Bama.
That does it. LSU is screwed.

Right. Exactly.
Honestly, I don't give a whole lot of thought to what is posted here. I skim a lot and when I see something like "the SEC office in Birmingham, AL is full of Alabama grads," I might believe it or might not depending on how much thought I give to it. Birmingham is an "Alabama" town, so it made sense and I didn't think about it beyond that.
Today, I ask the question. Always curious as to why Ole Miss fans constantly knight for Alabama, though. Haven't beaten them in years.

Well, common sense is a bitch, buddy.
