    Needs to be close to the geographic center of the conference for everyone's benefit. The reality is that most of the 5000 Shocker fans in St Louis drove there. Having to fly would dramatically reduce Shocker attendance. Ease of attendance (or easiest possible) for all schools is Paramount for a well attended tournament.

      Nothing has more direct flights than Vegas and Orlando.
      Wichita State, home of the All-Americans.

              I think Orlando is the best location for the tournament as it is a destination city and there are many direct flights to Orlando. Allegiant flys out of Wichita,Kansas city and Oklahoma City with direct flight into Orlando with affordable rates . I am sure other members could also find affordable flights into Orlando fairly easy.

                I flew on Allegiant one time. Big, huge mistake.

                            If they could just pan in on that place off the Pulaski Highway in Maryland, where I used to eat blue crab with beer by the bucket... Was in the Baltimore area a few uears ago. Went out of my way to find it, but couldn't. Not every joint in Maryland that claims to have the best crabs, does. It's a sad day.
                            There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

                                For me, it would be @ the Tulsa BOK. I would settle for OKC though. :)
