The A10 doesn't do that. The women in Richmond. The men get Washington, DC where the Wizards and Caps play. And on different weekends.

Our league's leadership is just so absolutely clueless.

Leadership doesn't appear to be committed to anything honestly. Football makes a little sense, but that's about it. I am all for an airport meeting, Harry referred to backroom discussions a few weeks ago in the Pilot.

As far as basketball goes, I don't understand why, after the first round or so, the higher seed can't host for that game, would make TV appearance a lot better and actually make revenue for someone. The Big South did it this way, looked pretty successful to me. They held the first round in Asheville, the after that the higher seed hosted the following game. Championship game in Radford was over capacity as a result.......... Imagine a champ game at MT, WKU, MU, USM, ODU etc, that would look awesome on TV......

This isn't the CUSA Marshall joined, or USM many moons ago. It may be time to do something else. Our bowls aren't getting better, worse if you really think on it, we went form a 2-3 bid league to 1 bid. It's just lost too much. So if we have to accept crap tv deals, crap bowls, crap leadership, getting punked for bids in the NCAA, might as well do it in a new conference.

Have only the top 8 play. First round at higher seed. Semi and Finals at neutral location Fri & Sat. If it's separate from the ladies we'll have lots of options.

I don't even care if the semis and finals are at the higher seeds... they've earned it. Make it last a week.

Quarterfinals: Sunday all day
Semifinals: Wednesday at 7:00PM and 9:00PM
Finals: Saturday at 7:00PM

I'd rather have to beat MTSU in front of 11,000 opposing fans (they've earned it) than in front of nobody in an echo chamber.

Exactly my thoughts on the subject.
