[QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2129352, member: 5798"] You and Plebe make great points that I failed to mention. Some here think the Las Vegas idea wouldn't work. I think it depends on your perspective. It would not look appealing if I lived in the east, but if I lived in the western region of the country, it would look completely different. I would also ask those that don't like this idea (which is NOT mine, it Antonelli's) to suggest a viable option they think would work, given the dynamics already in place regarding fan travel, and interest in watching teams play other than their own. One item I did not mention in my narrative was looking at this from the NCAA's perspective, and not the fan's point of view. If the NCAA can fill an arena of 12,000 seats to 85-90% capacity, they're putting butts in the seats. That's the bottom line. The question is this: Do you think they care where those butts come from? The west coast region, the south, the midwest or the east, or a combination from all over. If they can get 10,000 people in a 12,000 seat arena, they couldn't care less where those folks came from. We are looking at this from our point of view, not theirs. They've already shown that they are going to do what they want to, whether the schools or fans like it or not. My narrative mentioned two possibilities. The Vegas thing was an answer, not THE answer. Since the NCAA has not really pursued that option, they probably don't think it's a good idea either, but for different reasons. We'll never know for sure unless or until they try it. If anyone has what they think would be a viable option to solve this dilemma, I'd sure like to hear it. [/QUOTE]
