Probably not.
But I really do question some of the things handled at the offices. It just seems, there are a lot of questionable decisions that seem to favor the AL schools. And don't get hysterical about it, I'm not a conspiracy guy. But 99% of fans of the other 12 schools all question it too and the inside joke REC comments , lead others to wonder as well.
Look at some of the complaints without the Crimson glasses and see if they make sense, or at least aren't questionable.
I'm just saying , Birmingham is a small city and most of the community there has tied to either Auburn or Alabama, which understandable , but it's also easy to understand why the rest of us felt there is a degree of bias.
If the offices were in a larger city the employment pool and also the draw to hire the best in the business to your company , which is what the SEC is, would be greater and more diverse.

I concede your first few points but the last sentence is a joke. Nearly all of the handful of jobs at the SEC headquarters are lucrative jobs financially. Having to live in Bham isn't going to stop bright people from moving there to take a position especially given what these positions pay. It sure as hell didn't stop Mike Slive, arguably the SEC'S most successful commissioner ever from taking the job.

If it were moved to ATL, the same bias allegations would be levied towards UGA. At least in Bham you have two bitter rivals who can't agree on anything keeping each other in check.
