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.

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.

Imagine pulling away for commercial showing the Vietnam Wall. The White House. The Lincoln Memorial. Etc...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.
