[QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2129486, member: 199"] Couple of points: 1. Las Vegas (and Nevada) like New Jersey are both not viable options today because of the NCAA iron clad rule that any state that allows gambling on college sport cannot host NCAA sponsored events. You have to change that rule before you can use either state. That takes a vote of the NCAA membership (D1 or total i don't know) and there are enough religious schools in both D1 and overall that getting approval for such a change might be problematic - the old BE could not have its tournament at the Mohegan Sun because of the catholic schools vetoing a Casino hosting the event even though the Casino was putting in the most attractive bid. 2. I like Doug's idea (see the Dish'n and Swish'n pod cast thread) of doing super regions - one in Vegas (if you can change the rule) and one in the East - he said Bridgeport but wherever. You see how the Vegas site works with eight teams before you commit to all sixteen, and you keep an East West set-up so reduce some travel. 3. Geno had some interesting comments in the presser - the NCAA doesn't care about the in person attendance they want viewers, and the indication is the start times for games - they don't improve attendance, they improve viewership, and they certainly don't improve the student athlete 'experience'. It is why ESPN is probably pushing for a return to Sunday/Tuesday for the FF not for attendance but again viewership by removing the competition for the broadcasts. Interesting perspective. [/QUOTE]
