The Southeastern Conference Football's (SEC) 2021 season is looking stronger than ever, according to athletic directors at the 14 schools included in the NCAA division. Economically, that's true for the Southern and Southwestern states where the 14 schools are located too, says Michael Ettlinger, Director of the Carsey School. "As a group, the SEC states are doing better than any other big conference group of states," he said. "Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina are mong the best 10."
