Do we want to be a part of this? Minnesota playing #12 Wisconsin

[UConn Hoops1]

in B1G Quarterfinals in BankersLife Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Being described as a big game with Minnesota needing a win to get off the bubble and Wisconsin for a #1 Seed; and the building is effectively empty. Unbelievable!

If the choices are playing in an empty building for $2 million a year (AAC) or playing in an empty building for $22 million a year (B1G), you be the judge.

Yes, we do.

I guess what astounds me(compared to the BET not the AAC Tournament) is that I have the B1G Network so I watch a lot of regular season games; and facilities are (routinely)packed and (very) noisy. I have also heard from Andy Katz, Seth Greenberg and several others that BankersLife/Indianaoplis is a great venue. I didn't realize(or wasn't paying attention...more likely ) that the tournament rotates between Indianopolis and Chicago. I just read an article in Forbes that tickets in the "secondary" market(Indianapolis) are down 55% in price but it did not address actual changes in demand.

Are you asking if we want to be in the B1G or AAC?

I think we already know the consensus on that.
