NU Hoop Fan, I always thought the best way would be to have the first/second rounds (if we go back to 10 teams) on campus at higher seeds, then host the "Final Four" at the highest-remaining seed. That way, earning the top seed is rewarded, and some fans that wouldn't drive to anywhere other than their home gym would go. For instance, this year's first round would have probably had this for attendance:

BU-UNH: 1,000
UVM-Albany: 1,800-2,000
Hartford-Stony Brook: 1,200
Maine-Northeastern: 1,500

This way, the league gets increased revenue, and Monasch still gets his "event". Of course, this makes too much sense to ever happen.

Makes too much sense not to work. I like it a lot. Of course, this means it will never work.

Monasch wants a planned event. He's made it clear that's what he wants, and despite the approaches we may propose, it's not going to happen.

I've talked to some coaches who like this approach as it gives a team more to play for..all playoff games at home, if you're in the top 3, to say.
