When is the SEC office going to be forced to move out of the state that elected George Wallace it's governor during the civil rights years? It seems that they would be anxious to move now that they've decided that the flag in Mississippi was bad enough to forbid championships from being played in those schools.

I support this measure. When the dogs of war are released, we must go where they take us.

These are the paranoid frothings of a madman

But it's not a terrible idea. Move the SEC out of shithole states

The quality of this board has gone from awful to not worth posting on.

Please let the season get here without delay.

You may have to move it out of the country to find a place with a civil rights era political official of any sort without some degree of blatant or subtle racially bias or prejudiced behavior in today's context

According to my friends at Wikipedia, the Southern Manifesto initiated and signed in congress to stop integration in public spaces had signatories from every SEC state. Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina had 100% of their delegates sign it. If we went with the states least opposed to integration based on refusal to sign, only the Texas and Tennessee delegations had a majority of members of the US House of Representatives refuse to sign.

So... are we finally moving the HQs to Nashville and round-robin tournaments between Dallas and Nashville?

And they can ban championships in Louisiana due to their mascot being named after the confederacy.

Beautiful!

The Metro Atl Area has plenty of prime Office Space, and the employees will probably like the local schools and the overall feel of the Metro Atl Area

SEC should leave the south because it references the South in it's name...

I was hoping ending the eight game streak and winning the NC would settle this kind of rhetoric down. If I had the power I’d put the damn office in Baton Rouge to shut the ones like you up. I’m serious.

People that think George Wallace died a racist don’t know much about George Wallace.

People will say that you can't find a Southern state that hasn't had a blatantly racist Governor. Unfortunately you can't find an American state that hasn't had a blatantly racist Governor.

Maybe they didn't target blacks, maybe it was Native Americans, or the native Hawaiians. It is what it is.

Now, as for moving the SEC headquarters somewhere else... where would you go? You couldn't even put the HQ in Memphis without people getting upset because Ole Miss has such a large footprint in that city.
