I get your point and it's a fair one; however, the actual set up just gives the perception of being bush league. I might have actually been a little more willing to accept it if they flipped the court 90 degrees and moved the sidelines close to the permanent seating (with the cameras facing that direction). The rent a bleachers on both sides of the court just says let's throw an AAU tournament together up in here. I still don't understand the rationale for having men's and women's at the same location on the same weekend. I can't think of anyone but low majors who do that. And all though we just fell out we had a top 25 team that's going to be playing in this thing. A top 25 program shouldn't be playing in a conference set up like this.

In other words, there are better options. A lot better options. A number of which have been discussed already in this thread. If this league's leadership is going to act like a low major conference they might as well put the games on the home court of the highest seed. The top attendance numbers for the top 4 seeds over the last week of the season are:
11,307
10,050
7,879
7,387
6,673

We won't approach anything like that in Frisco.
