I don't think the league is picking the venue for volleyball either.

Regarding whether or not it is worth criticizing, everyone here has their pet peeves.  I've got a near irrational dislike of Diaco.  Just typing his name, I get a little pissed.  I do agree with the concept that if we are the big revenue generator for the XL, the events should work around us.  The Wolfpack is sore a point since they get subsidized by the State while UConn pays a premium to play there.
