I like it ... nice job! Upvoted.

Should we total them up for each team now?

It isn't lost on me that the fan bases who have been most vocal about keeping the conference tournaments in places like Hoover and Atlanta are those fans who are affiliated with the schools that travel the least.

Coincidence? I think not.
Spoiled.


It's not really that. It's more about tradition Bro, we're tradition oriented in the South.

Atlanta is the capital of the South - it's where the football championship SHOULD be played. Plus Atlanta gives us, (the Conference), a super sweet deal to play there. They know how to put on a show for us in Atlanta.

Basketball and baseball are different stories. Those championships should be rotated around the South, but attendance is always going to play into those championships because those are not one game championships, those are tournaments. You gotta put butts in seats for multiple games even during the weekdays and week nights.

Honestly, the basketball tournament should be rotated around to all the conference venues that hold at least 16k fans.

Baseball should be rotated around to all the SEC states that have minor league parks available.

Football is the only CC that shouldn't rotate. That's two teams every year and nobody knows who it will be (except not Ole Miss).

The rest of the tournaments should rotate, because they involve all (or almost all) of the teams per year. Every fanbase should get the opportunity to plan and see these events. Its not that complicated.

Interesting that Vandy is smack dab in the middle of the Columbias.

Random useless information.

Also worth noting ... lists show all of the schools (obviously), not just divisional opponents.


Should only include divisional opponents and the one permanent cross division rival. The other schools are played so few of times it's like they are in different conferences.
