re: What occurs when a conf baseball tourney is in a desirable location:

Memphis is NOT an SEC town. Hard to get fans to travel to a baseball tournament when your team could be out in one game. There needs to be a good fan base locally. LSU, MS ST, Ole Miss, Bama, AU, Tenessee and GA all have plenty of alums in Bham to support their teams, if they would just get off their rumps and get out there.
