Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3038940, member: 7492"] First off, I am NO FAN of Debbie as a basketball analayst. Her stance is sort of based off of how NCAA Baseball and Softball host their “World Series” at Omaha and Oklahoma City each year as a destination (in this case it’s only 8 teams) and that the attendance at both has blossomed and thrived. A big difference is this would be 16 teams in a One nod Done aspect whereas BB/SB is double elimination. Vegas also IS NOT the venue as it isn’t kid friendly, or for that matter even women friendly. Omaha and OKC each have roots for baseball or softball from the locals. Is Springfield or Knoxville logical or does that become too UConn/Tenn bias? The question would be do you have a rotating set of venues, like the Super Bowl, to allow various regions to host and it’s publicized ahead and you can plan for Nextel year or in two years. Maybe MSG in NYC, Chicago, Boston all become viable as the pool size is now bigger to get fans from. [/QUOTE]
