I say move/rotate it. KC would be a refreshing change, and an upgrade.

I don't think SIU fans will have much trouble getting tickets for the play-in game anytime soon.

I don't really see how there's any discussion here. CU and WSU bring the most people from furthest away... imagine what it would be like in the Sprint Center where CU and WSU are 3 hours away. I would not be surprised at all if it sold out.

I think maintaining the contract with CBS is far more important than selling out. Part of why the game is compelling to CBS is the tradtion of Arch Madness. A conference tournament that rotates around and is dominated by one or two schools seems "small-time" to me.

Rotating between two neutral sites seems "small-time"? Explain that one to me. Small time is playing it in the home of a conference school. And CBS isn't in it because of the tradition of Arch Madness. They're in it because the Valley made its case a few years ago for the attention. At the time, we could have played it in Carbondale and the cameras would have been there. They don't care where it's played as long as there's a good environment and there's a product to sale.

Then would you consider the Big 12 Tournament to be small time? I don't really quite get where that came from.

And as Sub said, CBS doesn't give a rat's ass about the "tradition of Arch Madness." They care about one thing and I think it's pretty obvious what that is..

The Big Ten has rotated between Chicago and Indianapolis too.

I thought Elgin swung the CBS championship by keeping us in the Brackebuster?

But then we'd have to compete with the Big 10 for coverage, even if they're on different channels...
