The SEC has expanded its footprint further west over the last 10 years and will do so again by moving its annual media days to a new home in 2024.
This week, SEC media days is being held outside of Hoover and Atlanta for the first time in history. This year’s event is taking place at the Grand Hyatt in downtown Nashville. Next year, the event will be on the move again. Dallas is set to host SEC media days at the Omni Hotel.
The move comes as a result of the addition of Oklahoma and Texas into the conference beginning in fall 2024. Conference officials previously mentioned an idea that every state represented in the SEC would host media days on a rotational basis.
It will mark the second consecutive season the SEC has elected to use a different location to host its annual media days. The event began in 1985 in Birmingham and stayed in the area until 2017 when a rotation began with Birmingham and Atlanta.
This year’s event began on Monday with Texas A&M, Missouri and LSU. It will conclude Thursday when Ole Miss, South Carolina and Tennessee take the podium.
