Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 4179786, member: 730"] No, not a 4 seed. But this argument didn't happen this season. There have been complaints for as long as regionals have been held in the Northeast. The solution is simple. Improve your program to the point where area arenas want you there because you fill the place. With that assurance those arenas are willing to make a competitive bid to hold the regionals. It's that simple. No favoritism needed. I remember not too long ago when the NCAA allowed teams to bid to host the regionals. And they were guaranteed to play at home as long as they were in the final 16. A deal for 4 seeds? The NCAA felt that giving 4 of the final 16 a homecourt edge was a fair deal, right? Did they put profits above fairness? They sure did. I remember when Tenn outdrew their opponents on the road. Instead of the media raising concerns about fairness they showered Summitt with praise for the popularity of her team. [/QUOTE]
