So your saying Alabama cuts its scheduling deals by only charging the tenant $1 rent. Now it all makes sense. Thank you for clearing up any confusion.

I think the SEC offices are fine where they are. The conference is very healthy, and Birmingham is actually quite centrally located for all the schools. Birmingham is heavily influenced by U of Alabama, but as others have noted the school is actually in Tuscaloosa, so it isn't a complete "home field advantage."
If they did ever want to move the HQ, Atlanta would make the most sense. It is still fairly centrally located, has a huge population with grads from all of the SEC schools, already hosts the SEC championship game, and will soon be home to the College football hall of fame.
Nashville would probably be my next choice.

Yes. The University of Alabama actually owns the property that the SEC office rents for $1 per year. This has slipped the notice of everyone else but you - a message board mensa candidate. Congratulations. You've uncovered the biggest conspiracy since the Kennedy assasination.
Birmingham is centally located across the conference (actually a small town outside of Bham is the geographic center of the SEC, but you get the point). Bama is 45 minutes away. AU is 90 minutes away. Any major city in the conference is going to have a university close by. No one complained about the SEC offices in Bham when DuBose, Fran, and Shula were coaching. It didn't help Bama then and it isn't helping Bama now. The reason Bama has been successful is a result of coaching and excellent talent.
