I can't believe

Paul Finebaum just said he is no longer defending the SEC officials... I can't believe it. And his calls are lighting up about officials. I never watch his show but thought I would today to hear what was said about officials

He'll be called in front of the alabama inner sanctum tonight and set straight.

The SEC needs to move the Conference office out of Birmingham to Nashville, Charlotte, Atlanta, or anydamnedwhereelse

Never going to happen. The city of Birmingham bends over backwards to keep the SEC there. I think they have some sweetheart deal where their lease on the building they're in is like $1 a year.

He’s just trying to stir the pot for ratings/content

I agree with this but it has little to do with officiating...

The bama bias in football does not go away just because the league office is somewhere else. What needs to happen is the school presidents need to grow a pair, clean house, and start over with officiating because several other sports officiating are an embarrassment too.

The league office needs move to a more nationally recognized city just to up the game for the league. B-ham is a nice sized town but way too regional. I think ATL would be a good choice. Home of the premier league championship game. Prolly every sec school has one of their largest out of state alumni groups there. Except for UGA of course but then, because of all the transplants, ATL is not an overwhelmingly UGA city. Large international airport. CFB hall of fame nearby.

Charlotte would be an interesting choice. Have the league office in a state that doesn't have an SEC team. However oddly enough the SEC network is based there too.

It needs to be moved out of Alabama, although I'm not sure the physical location really matters. Nashville would be good, and it's as close to a neutral site as you can get, plus it's centrally located.

Well, B'ham certainly has plenty of vacant buildings so it's not hurting them to give space away.

Move it to Noxapater.

I think real estate is $2/yr there, twice what it is in B'ham.
