Anyone know?
Eta: I guess I should include what has peaked my curiosity. There has been much vitriol about Alabama's conference schedule during the "bridge" and many people genuinely believe that the offices in Birmingham= favor for the tide. One thing I haven't seen mentioned, however, is that upon the original expansion in 1992 Alabama was forced to travel to Baton Rouge despite playing there in 1991. Were the offices in New Orleans then?
Eta: I see they were not in New Orleans then. Thanks to all for the quick responses

They just couldn't handle MSU winning the national championship in 1941. They moved the offices and stole our title.

It previously had another location in Birmingham. It moved from Jackson to Birmingham in 1948.

When Alabama told them to.

I wonder what prompted the move

Duh... you mean the myth that Bammer has always dominated SEC policies is a myth?

You're confused. They moved from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa in 1958, when Bryant came home.
