Gate'83, thanks for the link. Clearly, there was a lot of room for politics in the selection of SHSU for the game. it looks like the only way Colgate will ever get a home game is if they are ranked in the top 4 of the playoff teams (think they were ranked 4 in 2003). For future reference knowing the financial guarantees of $30,000 for the first round, $40,000 for the second, $50,000 for the quarter and $60,000 for the semi is handy. I also noticed that for the prelims the NCAA pays for travel of 130 people including only 60 athletes (outside of coaches, trainers, equipment folks, some pub. relations staff and the AD,who the heck makes up the other 70). For the final they pay for 145 including 70 athletes. There is always politics in everything the NCAA does and it is to the disadvantage of smaller schools. BTW, I don't think the CAA deserves 4 spots in the tourney.
