LSU and Ole Miss want the SEC offices out of Birmingham
They may talk that way, but if it ever moved it would be east to Nashville or Atlanta. Rebs and Tigers may blow off steam now and again in public but I do not believe any of it. when it comes down to it the SEC knows standing together is the best was to survive. Big East and Big Twelve will be case studies in business schools in a decade or two on how to not break up the band by shooing cracks in the armor.

I understand where you are coming from but I think you are missing the power behind who wants Texas and Oklahoma in the SEC
You may not understand where I am coming from, I was around back in the days when the skeletons were being put in the closet originally. ESPN has power but it is not absolute. Granted they are writing the media checks but that only accounts for about 1/3 of the pie. On site is another 1/3 but the final 1/3 is the good old boys who write the checks. Unless ESPN picks up that 1/3 they are never going to have the control you think they have.
Sure ESPN and FOX have the media space monopolized but you need to look at the who picture when it comes to the dollars. As for conference realignment, it has been going on all the time and moves with the speed of mud. The more folks think things change, the more they stay the same with plans taking decades to happen. Media just makes you think it happens quickly because they do not want it out till AFTER the deal is done.
Look when the ACC added schools, no info beforehand and suddenly Syracuse and Pittsburgh are in. Do you honestly believe it happened just that fast?

No I believe that they did that because they did not want the ACC fans to throw a fit over adding more Big East schools
Syracuse has been a horrible fit into the ACC
The knowledge of those schools coming to the ACC was already established maybe years beforehand
I am seeing this with the destruction of the Big 12
Truthfully I believe the other three conferences are making sure Texas does not join the SEC. That has to be worst case scenario for the other 3 for sure
From what I read and analyzed a lot of things put onto the internet have been trying to sabotage these universities to the SEC
Like I said I think maybe ESPN is wanting it so no matter what the other conferences want ESPN will force others to accept the move
