Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 4191427, member: 73"] The reason the NCAA has the Regionals in CT is because they get more for a ticket and they sell out. CT Tenn SC and Oregon are huge draws for then NCAAs and that means money. So not having UConn close to home would cost the NCAA money and fans. Fans promote the game. Someone mentioned most of the tickets are already sold. Think about it. If UConn is sent away fans would not be happy which would hurt sales for the next year. If the NCAAs truly want to make money my suggestion would be hold the Regionals close to UConn SC Tenn or Oregon where those teams draw fans. I would be very surprised if UConn wasnt in CT no matter what. UConn is the NCAAs cash cow. In the old days the Regionals were always held close to Tenn because Tenn was a huge draw and money maker for the NCAA. One other point is the BE tourney is being held at Mohegan Sun March 4-7). Its a great place to hold the tournament and its in CT which is a huge draw for the BE. Follow the money. [/QUOTE]
